    EASY

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

    Okay. I just tried that.

    But apparently I cannot uninstall symantec!!

    Is it 100% certain from my minidumps that it is symantec?

    I had this for 9months and the same with utorrent which is the "trigger" for the BSOD

    Why cant you un-install Symantec?

    Nothing is 100% certain.

    BSOD's are always a combination of things. Did you have symantec when utorrent gave you trouble? I am betting you did

    Lat time I tried to uninstall Norton-Symantic i had to go to thier web site to uninstall. Please see following link: https://www-secure.symantec.com/nort...=1&pvid=f-home

    Just a suggestion why not use regedit to remove all of the syamntic files. I do know that messing with the registry files is tricky and if you do not know what you are doing or looking for it can destroy the operating system and have to do a complete reinstall. Just a suggestion. But, instead of removing norton-symantic first, I strongly recommend removing utorrent and all utorrent files. As you know, utorrent downloads sometines does have malicious software.
    Also, have you tried to download Malwarebytes to remove any mailicios files, and CCleaner or Glary Utilities to do a registrt repair.
    Again I am just asking, as I still learn from everyone else that has more experience.
