Solved Random BSOD: Kernel Security Check Failure

[SebasSmits]

Hi everyone,

Since today my friend is being hit with some BSOD's containing the text: "Kernel Security Check Failure"
We have no idea where this all came from, my friend did not download some sketchy, unstable, downloads or something. We did some research and it apparently is an issue with drivers, That gets no bell ringing because his computer was running smoothly about half a year now, with no major changes like an OS upgrade. So we have no idea what’s going on. We have found that it's useful to read some dump files but we have no idea how that works so i thought let's just show the problem at this forum and see if anyone else can help us to at least locate the problem.


Soo.. we found the dump file locator software on this forum and ran it on his computer, and the result you can find as attachments.

Hope someone can help us with this problem. It’s getting quite a hazard, it already happened 3 times this day.

Thanks,
Sebas and Martijn
