I am not going to go with Driver Verifier
I 3rd the motion to let Windows 7 do one of the things it does best - VERIFY DRIVERS.
Run the Driver Verifier. It simply "stress-tests" 3rd party (non-MS) drivers and if it finds one that could be a potential BSOD-causing candidate - it will flag it and BSOD your system.

All you need to do is make sure you follow step #1 - create the restore point. If the D/V flags a driver, it will produce a memory dump containing additional info that will help identify the rogue driver(s). The assumption is made that the hardware platform is stable.
Let me update the drivers first by using driver detective and then will see if things will get stabled or not.
Honestly, a bad move. From the # of drivers you mentioned, it sounds like it picked up some Microsoft Windows 7 drivers as well; not sure.
I have run three programs to see if my win 7 drivers need to be updated or not.
Driver Detective ( which is the one i put my money on) detects that i have 33 out-of-date drivers. < SNIP > . . .the other two programs (Device doctor and Driver Agent) detect nothing out of date! (all were running at the same time)
i am not sure which one is actually out of date...
You just made my and the others point. Only Windows Updates or a Microsoft hotfix can update Windows 7 OS drivers - no patches allowed.
. . .
for my system, not sure whether this observation is good to proceed with fixing errors, however i have noticed something that might help. I have scheduled my RegCure ( which is a registery cleaner program) to clean the registery 3 am everyday. the system after the cleaning gets a little bit stable.
As was mentioned, registry cleaners are a waste of money and more often than not do more harm than any good whatsoever. There is noting in the registry to "clean".

If your drivers are the same as in your last DMP there are only four that could possibly be considered out of date. Thats the problem with the driver detective type programs. Their list of up to date drivers may be up to date or not. It also may be correct or not.
these are the drivers that might be considered old.

Focus on the drivers in RED - they 1st 2 especially need to be updated.
I agree with Jack and zigzag3143 here - work within Windows 7, utilize its self-healing tools and follow the advice that you have received here.
