Use the computer in safe mode, if the problem is gone, try to test and correct in a clean boot.
Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
Run a full anti virus scan
Download and make a full scan with Malwarebytes
HP seemd to have locked the BIOS settings indeed. I wanted you to change to AHCI mode and use the standard win7 drivers..... but impossible with locked bios
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
Ok I shall try that. I might have to do a windows reinstall if all else fails..
Thank you so much for your help Kaktussoft, I will update you what happens.
Sometimes caused by rootkit!! Do this How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS (aka Tidserv, TDSServ, Alureon)?
and post results
Sorry, I am in New Zealand and it was 4am so I got some sleep!
I did the rootkit scan, and it found nothing.
I have done a clean and safe boot, neither crashed.
So! I think that might be good sign?
EDIT: The crash has stopped happening altogether now. This is pretty annoying because no changes where made that I can think of... So basically I have no idea if and when it will happen again.
EDIT Again: Right so crashes started again, and happened in both safe mode and clean boot. Damn.
