    Occasional BSOD after bios update


    Ever since I updated my bios after being advised to by a Ubisoft employee, my system occasionally crashes to a BSOD. Sometimes it happens twice a day, sometimes not for a week. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm rather bumped, because I love my current system. I do not know how to solve this problem so maybe you guy's can help me.

    Attached you find my BSOD file (the health report is in Dutch, but hopefully you can manage).

    My system specs:

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit; Full retail version installed this a half year ago.
    The original windows was Vista, 32 bit which in turn was updated to 7, 32 bit. After installing extra ram I switched to 64.

    The system is three years old, the OS, as mentioned, a half year old.

    Hope you can help.

    Memory exception probably caused by your Symantec.

    Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's. I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

    Wouldn't that have caused BSOD's before my bios update as well?

    BSOD's are always a combination of things not one single thing. We can just remove the most obvious causes and hope the other factors dont keep causing them.

    Something cahnged for the BSOD's to start. Symantec by itself may have been fine (and may have for ever if nothing changed) but something in the mix did.
