    Disable them both while troubleshooting.

    Had a BSoD late yesterday.

    All startups were disabled (except security programs) and services disabled.

    I still had the blue tooth headset and the printer connected though, so they are now disabled.

    I also noticed that Samsung Magician was still starting and could not find where to disable it from startup, so that is now uninstalled.

    Didn't you realise I meant to disable everything when I asked for disabling all USB devices?

    I'm a little slow at times axe0 :).

    Nothing deliberate, just old age.

    Got another crash this morning. PC running about 10 minutes. Only had browser open.

    No peripherals other than mouse & keyboard. Services and programs disabled in msconfig, other than security.

    Please check in your BIOS the voltage, speed and latency of the memory and let me know what they are.
    Please run a memtest and driver verifier afterwards.



    Diagnostic Test

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

       Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.



    Diagnostic Test

     DRIVER VERIFIER


       Warning
    Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
    Please create a restore point.

    Please follow this tutorial to run driver verifier.

    Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

    Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

    If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

       Note
    Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

    I have memtest already. Is it just a matter of letting it run? Off to work now, so will do this tonight.

    Thanks axe0

    It is just a matter of letting it run, when it is finished make a photo and post it so I can see the result :)

    BIOS info attached.

    When you say 'when it (memtest) has finished' I assume you mean after it has done a minimum of 8 passes?
