BSOD's halmacpi.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe

Hi all,

I have been searching for help here but did not find anything similar to my problem, so i decided to go for a new thread.

Recently, I got 3 BSOD on different dates. The first one was on July 23rd, one day before I update some drivers through Windows Update - this is actually the reason why I don't think the drivers update is root cause - just a hunch.

Below is crash analysis of July 23rd.

I have no idea what is going on. I could use Windows restore tool to a previous date, but I am not convinced the update I did is the root cause.

Any ideas to troubleshoot this problem? Appreciate any input.

Cheers,
