    Hi,
    I am looking for some help with these minidumps, and as to what might actully be causing so many different BSODs on one system. Thanks in advance for your your help with this, I am stumped on this one.

    Twice the McAfee driver mfehidk.sys was mentioned as the probable cause. This is a Host Intrusion Detection Link Driver. Try updating your McAfee or do a compltete uninstall and reinstall.

    Thanks for getting back to us. You might want to suggest much better security software than McAfee; Malwarebytes being one of them.
