I was having a lot of crashes in the last couple weeks, so i updated my BIOS, and last night updated all the drivers for everything i could. I bought this laptop a month or so ago. Im running Windows home x64. I did this (update all drivers) through HP's site where my laptop is listed and all the drivers for it. Afterwards, everything seemed to be running fine then this morning i got 2 crashes right in a row. I dont know what to do now...as i updated what i could. If someone could please help me I'd be soooooo appreciative! Thank you so much!

Several things that need fixing

AVast, and sptd.sys to start

1-remove avast and replace with Microsoft security essentials

http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

2- Sptd.sys used by alcohol and daemon tools a huge cause of BSOD's
Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads

You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) Overview

After these are fixed we can focus on the true cause of the BSOD's

It's highly regarded here. The typical suggestion is to use it in conjunction with another application such as Malware Bytes that is directed at malware per se. They don't conflict with each other.

Use MSE at least for as long as you are troubleshoooting bsods.
MSE does not invoke blue screens - unlike Avast.
