Hi, I have an Alienware M17 laptop which came with Windows Vista Home Premium. My friend bought a couple copies of Windows 7 Ultimate from a program at his school and asked if I would like a copy, so I said "Sure". The version I installed is the 32-bit version. I like the setup of 7 and everything seemed to be really great but now my computer randomly gets a BSOD.
The strange thing is, the BSOD seems to only happen when I attempt to access two particular websites, those being Jalopnik: Obsessed With The Cult Of Cars and Video Games, Cheats, Walkthroughs, Game Trailers, Reviews, News, Previews & Videos at IGN. The computer will blue screen, restart and then work perfectly fine, usually all day. But sometimes I can restart the computer and not have it blue screen once, for several days. But then on any given day it seems to want to make up for it by crashing more than once that day.
So I eventually scoured the internet and hunted down update after update for all my drivers and now they seem to be up to date. After I did so, it didn't BSOD for at least a month or more. I almost reached the point where I thought I may have solved the problem, until last night. Last night my computer suffered two Blue Screens in a row. It shut down and restarted only to Blue Screen and restart all over again. It also did it again this morning.
This time I have the details from the crash according to that message that pops up letting you know it crashed after restarting.
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: c2
BCP1: 00000007

BCP3: 807E2E94
BCP4: 807E2E74
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0

At first it seemed to only do it when using Google Chrome 5.0.3. but then it started to do it using Firefox 3.6.3. So I don't know what to do. I figured I would go straight to the experts. My computer specs are below.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 2.4 GHz
