Hi - having multiple BSODs in the last few days, not sure why. I've had Win8 64-bit running stable for a few months now on my intel 330 ssd. The error messages are either IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE.

I have updated the ssd firmware, updated video drivers, ran checkdisk, checked all drivers using Driver Reviver, can't figure out what is going on.

The BSODs tend to happen when streaming video, playing a game (League of Legends), or very occasionally just using Chrome or trying to start applications after a fresh start.

My desktop is 4 years old, so not sure if it is a RAM issue. That is possible. Motherboard firmware should be relatively up to date, nothing is overclocked, and all the above software is legitimate.

I have posted a minidump here if anyone can take a look, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi topgundcp, thanks for the reply. I uninstalled it now, and in the process discovered I still had Daemon tools installed (thought I had uninstalled it). I also did the fix for the driver associated with it to remove that. So far no BSOD yet even with streaming video, will update if it's not fixed.

Thanks!

After many hours with no BSOD including a game and video, I had a BSOD when streaming video... any other ideas?
