Security App
Crashes indicate Norton being a possible cause. Remove Norton and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software
Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.
Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows
MalwareBytes Free
Virus check
Scan your system with the following:
Kaspersky TDSSKiller - TDSSKiller Rootkit Removal Utility Free Download | Kaspersky Lab US
ESET online scanner - Online Virus Scanner Eset
Windows Defender Offline (optional)/in case above two show infection) - Run Windows Defender Offline
Start up
Keep less stuff at the start-up. Only anti-virus, this helps avoid driver conflicts and improves time to log in to windows.

Make a Hard Drive test from the mfg website: Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure

Daemon Tools/Alcohol %
Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although we have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions). Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ
As an alternative many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO
Get the latest version of your VMware software installed. If no later version is available, please uninstall the software till your BSOD's stop.
