BSOD exactly once every 24 hours (light use)
I've been getting BSODs in fairly regular intervals, about once a day, for the last week on a system that hasn't been unstable since I put it together 18 months ago. BlueScreenView shows the minidumps contain two types of bug check strings, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, with ndsis.sys, netio.sys or ntoskml.exe listed as the drivers that threw the exception.
So far, I have tried the following without getting to the bottom of the issue (the BSODs first appeared on Dec 20):
None of the above fixed the issue. I am currently looking into reports that two Windows Security patches released this month, KB 3004394 and KB 3008923, have been causing a raft of issues, including with Virtualbox, which I have installed. A hotfix for KB 3008923 was released on Dec 17, while MS advised users on win 7 (but not 8.1) to uninstall KB 3004394 manually, after which it disappears from wupdate for those users.
I went ahead and uninstalled KB 3004394, KB 3008923 and hotfix KB 3025930 and temporarily disabled automatic updates, to see if that might stop the BSODs (I assume I will know in about 24 hours from now).
I am also looking into reports of BSODs with Virtualbox on Windows 8.1 after this month's Windows Updates; I am considering to remove Virtualbox to see if that helps, but I have't done so yet.
Next thing to try might be Driver Verifier..
I would be especially grateful if someone could point out commonalities in these BSODs as this might help narrow things down.. thank you.

So far, I have tried the following without getting to the bottom of the issue (the BSODs first appeared on Dec 20):
- I rolled back sound card (a WQHL driver for the SoundBlaster Z released this month) and gpu driver updates (Geforce Experience 2.1.5) dating from Dec 17.
- I tested the memory with memtest86+ (2 passes without errors; I had tested them for 5 or so passes recently for troubleshooting a different issue, also without errors).
- I re-flashed the latest UEFI/BIOS on the board to rule out corruption (it previously had the latest UEFI but I flashed it again).
- When the latest WHQL Nvidia driver came out on Dec 23, in clean-installed that, to see if this month's windows updates had introduced an issue that the latest driver might fix.
- I stopped and disabled the NvStreamerSvc Service (used by Geforce Experience to connect to SHIELD devices) because I saw several posts linking it to BSODs.
- I ran sfc/ scannow and chkdsk, no issues found.
- I checked for malware and rootkits with Kaspersky Security Scan and TDSSKiller (nothing found).
- I looked through windows event logs and any scheduled tasks to see if anything was scheduled to run at the time the BSODs occurred
