Sporadic BSOD (0x000000e) has me baffled. Help is appreciated!

[FinalEndeavor]

Hi everyone,

This BSOD just started yesterday. I hadn't changed anything (at least to my knowledge), so I'm a little baffled as to why it started. I've attached the requested information. The only insight I have is that it SEEMS to happen when I interact with Chrome, but that may be a coincidence.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to SevenForums

The antivirus you are currently using is known and contributing to your BSOD crashes, consider uninstalling it with the Norton Removal Tool and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials at least to test.

• Norton Removal Tool

Recommended antivirus program for Windows 7 based on stability compared to others:-

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
• Microsoft Security Essentials Download | Free Spyware Protection
• Malwarebytes - The Free version
• http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/206705-good-free-system-security-combination.html

:warn: Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.

Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

Free up the start-up, nothing except the antivirus is usually needed.
