OEM drivers which I have not had issues with in the past. As in the specific driver. For example, Accelerometer.sys was never updated, and there was a time when I didn't get all these BSoDs.
MS does have a few generic drivers which are in use - things like vga.sys and usbhub.sys. There are also kernel parts found by e.g. DriverView. But I'm not saying that drivers from manufacturers on winupdate are any more reliable; I'm saying that drivers which are a part of Windows's operation and which exist and are likely in use on just about every single system are probably not the cause of the issues.
AV is Security Essentials, haven't seen any kernel stability updates for that; it likely isn't the cause. None of my virtual disk managers have been updated on here for ages, Virtual Box is the only possible canidate in that category. Video, USB, and chipset are all up-to-date, and audio is the OEM original (I had reverted it to remove it as a canidate).
I'll get VBox updated, see if anything changes.
