BSOD while working in 3DS Max, error code 0x1000007E
My system keeps crashing sort of randomly while I'm working in 3DS Max (32-bit) . I re-installed the video drivers and double checked that I'm using the latest version recommended by the manufacturer.
I'm including the dump files and system report. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Below I've pasted the system information and last crash report from WhoCrashed crash reporter.
System was completely re-installed with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit retail last July and has only seen infrequent use since. I almost solely use it for 3DS Max. Originally the system shipped with WinXP and it is going on four years old. It's an Alienware laptop Area-51 M9750.
Thanks.

Bug check description: This indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time
