BSOD because of Windows update conflict?

[VASnider]

I don't get the BSOD though. My computer just freezes up.

Here is what is going on when it happens:

I'm ALWAYS viewing or using something that uses flash or Java. ALWAYS.

This just started in the last week, and was an every few minutes problem on July 23, 2014. After not finding anything that worked to solve the problem, I finally used a restore, and that solved the problem until all of the Windows updates happened. Now I'm back to the same problem. I have attached two dm log collector files, one before I did the restore, and one from today. I have not done a restore yet today, although I don't see where they are attached so I'll guess they are...

Thanks,

Vikki
