Windows crashes every now and then, lately it has gotten too frequent. I can't seem to find a pattern.
Ran AV Scan and memory diag tool.

Thanks for your assistance.

Sorry for the delay in responding. There just aren't that many people who do BSOD analysis, so at times we get a bit overwhelmed!

Only 58 Windows Updates installed. Most systems have 66 or more. Please visit Windows Update and get ALL available updates (it may take several trips to get them all).

We've seen a number of BSOD issues with SSD's. Here's the information that I've compiled so far:
There's not a whole bunch available to test SSD's. The "easiest" test is to remove the SSD, install a platter-based hard drive, install Windows and test for stability that way.

Here's some suggestions:
- Update the SSD's firmware to the latest available version (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
- Update the motherboard controllers drivers to the latest available version from the controller manufacturer (NOT the mobo manufacturer unless you can't find any on the controller manufacturer's website). Be sure to update ALL controllers on the motherboard! I STRONGLY suggest not using controller drivers older than mid-2012 with SSD's.
- Slow the memory (RAM) down to the next slower speed (I've only seen one person who claimed that this worked for them).
- Use any manufacturer's utilities that you may have. If you don't have any, then try this free one (I haven't used it myself): Crystal Dew World
....NOTE: Recently (Nov 2011) we had BSOD issues with the Marvell 91xx controller and an SSD. You may have to switch controllers also.
- Replace the SSD with a platter based hard drive and see if that stops the BSOD's. If it does, then it's likely that there's a problem with the SSD OR an incompatibility with your system.
06 Dec 2011 - This post tends to confirm issues with certain SSD chipsets and certain controllers - [SOLVED] cant find the cause of BSOD F4 - Tech Support Forum
05 Jan 2013 - very interesting post about difficulties with the Marvell controllers even when not connected to the SSD drives: http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-cra...ndows-8-x64-pc-reboots-when-waking-sleep.html
27 Feb 2013 - I'm starting to see much better reliability with SSD's using current (mid-2012 and later) storage drivers. I have withdrawn my objections to using these devices in everyday systems.

Out of 7 memory dumps there were 4 different BSOD error codes. The differing error codes are usually symptomatic of a lower level problem within the system. They are usually caused by one of these things:
- borked (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)
- BIOS issues (check for updates at the motherboard manufacturer's website)
- overclocking - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. If uncertain we can suggest things to check.
- compatibility issues (3rd party hardware/drivers)
- low-level driver problems
- or even malware (scanned for when we ask for hardware diagnostics from Initial Hardware Diagnostics or Hardware Diagnostics ).

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

flashud.sys Fri Mar 6 04:57:27 2009 (49B0F387)
Info from here: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/9137/eng/ReleaseNotes.txt
flashud.sys - this driver hasn't been added to the DRT as of this run. Please search Google/Bing for the driver if additional information is needed.

If all of this doesn't stop the BSOD's, please run these free hardware diagnostics: Hardware Diagnostics. Let us know the results and we can move on from there.

Hi Usasma, thanks for your reply.
When checking windows update i see no updates available. However, upon checking update history i saw there are a few updates with a status of failed but they DO appear under installed updates.. How should I proceed? Uninstall all those marked failed?
Also regarding the flashud.sys driver, after googling this, I cannot find the program responsible for this driver, should i just delete it?

Don't worry about the updates (as long as they installed after the failure). The numbers are just averages - I can't be sure exactly how many are needed on any given system. The point here is to make sure that the system is as updated as possible - which will fix a lot of problems.

Please DO NOT delete the driver - it may render the system unbootable. If necessary, I'll post some directions on how to safely remove the driver manually - but we're not at that point yet.

The flashud.sys driver is (from the Driver section of MSINFO32):
int0800 Intel 28F320C3 Flash Update Device Driver v6.4 c:\windows\system32\drivers\flashud.sys Kernel Driver Yes Manual Running OK Normal No Yes
Here's a link to an article about this driver: http://download.intel.com/support/m..._whitepaperintelserverutilitiesproceduref.pdf
I would start by looking at the Intel programs installed on your system. Please list them here if you're uncertain which one is the cause.
