Since the beginning of this month I have encountered BSOD. I already ran Memtest and gave me no errors(tested each stick individually). I have not installed any software before the first BSOD. I installed Tune-up Utilities 2011 and Malwarebytes recently. I have updated my video card and I still get BSOD. I went to Intel to update other drivers and everytime i run the Intel driver update utility, I get a BSOD. I ran chkdsk /r and found no errors. If you need any other information, I will post it.

"avgidsshim.sys" IDS Application Activity Monitor Loader Driver This driver is flagged in your minidumps. Do you recognize it? Download and install all the Windows 7 updates ASAP! Your computer will love you for it
avgidsshim.sys is probably From the avg security suite i have installed on the pc. Do you think that would solve the issue? Is it flagged in all the minidump files? Ill install the updates as soon as I can.
Thank you. I will try that. May I ask how you figured it out? What did you use to figure out it was AVG? What part of the minidump led you to it?
Your minidumps showed a general OS instability... Most likely contributed by AVG and the lack of applying needed Windows Updates. You may have other programs that "don't like" AVG or AVG might be disabling Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. Windows 7 does not need this at all, while XP did. When drivers like "avgidsshim.sys" show, it is easy to flag them
