Windows crashing with kernal_security_check_failure

A few months ago my pc started crashing. As time went on, the crashes because more consistent. Now it crashes after about 30min of it running every time I boot it up. The error i'm getting is the kernal_security_check_failure. Here are my .DMP files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ci66qynoby61vo0/DMP.rar?dl=0
Any help would be really appreciated!
-Thanks in advance :)

After windows crashes with firefox open profile always needs to be recreated

Anytime windows crashes or my computer unexpectedly restarts and Firefox is open, the "restore session" screen comes up, then no matter what (if anything) is clicked, Firefox promptly locks up.
I have to create a new profile and copy over the profile folder contents every single time. It is very annoying and frustrating.
I have tried deleting the entire profile folder after the crash, no change.
I have uninstalled and reinstall Firefox (with and without thunderbird), no change.
I have even go through the registry and manually deleted any mozilla and firefox key.
It has been going on in releases 4.x, 6, and now 7.0.1

Why not back up your profile (back to the Firefox parent directory), so that you can put it back easily? That way, you save the profiles.ini file as well as the profile.

Windows Crashes with JRE 1.4.2 When Moving around JDialog

Hi!
I work on a Java Applet/application that was originally written to run on java 1.1 -- only AWT that too. Recently I managed to convince my manager (and his manager and his manager) to migrate from the AWT framework on java 1.1 (Microsoft JVM that is ) to Swing/JFC on Sun Java 1.4.2 ... it took a lot of explaining, demostrating, begging, pleading etc., to get this project funded.
Now, my app is all developed in JFC and ready for deployment and during testing found a potential show stopper -- When a Dialog Box or any moveable componant (internal windows etc) is moved around (holding down the mouse on the title bar of a dialog and dragging it around), the OS simply froze up ... nothing could be done other than power cycling the PC. Does anyone know if its a bug in JRE 1.4.2 and if it has been fixed?? This could potentially result in rolling back to AWT :(( .... and of course me looking like a fool in front of my manager!!
..... Please provide any suggestion other than moving to JRE 1.5.x beta. I've also noticed this happening in other Java Applications (Netbeans for example). So, I think this is a major bug the JRE 1.4.2.
A million thanks and few Duke Dollars for anyone pointing me in the right direction.
Note:
1. This problem is not just with my app ... some other java apps that are installed on my workstation (like netbeans) behave the same when Moving Around dialog boxes.
2. The behaviour is very random. But it has happened multiple times (and the very first time my manager run our app on jre 1.4.2)
I would give a million dollars if I had them. But for now, please do with the million thanks and few duke dollars.

Have you tried this on another machine?Yes ... actually this has happened on a few workstations here ... all of them are Pentium IV based dell workstations running Windows 2000.
What exact version of 1.4.2 did you download?Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_04
Using JRE version 1.4.2_04 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Have you searched the bug database? This one could be related to yours:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4673572
This sounds similar but the difference is its not just the app that feezes up (so that you could do an alt+ctrl+del and kill it)..... the OS freezes up and you can move the mouse around still the system even queu e is not full and eventuall all I hear is the beeping. At this point I've to power cycle.
Is there any way you could post the code or is it too big? Or, have you tried just creating a very small >application or applet that just shows one dialog, and if so, does that show the same problem? (What I'm >trying to get at here is - is it something in your code that is causing this, or something in the JRE, or >perhaps something to do with your machine's configuration/OS?)Unfortunately I cannot post the code ... its company rules and regulations. I've tried creating a very small app and it appears to work ok .... but randomly causes this freeze up. There is no definate pattern (except that it happens when you move around a JDialog or a JInternalFrame) . It could freeze up some time and work perfectly fine at other times. It has actually happened on other applications too (Netbeans, JEdit etc). That's why I suspect this might be a obscure bug in the JRE.
I'll try to find a pattern so that it can be re-produced by everyone.
Thanks for the help.

I seriously doubt that it's a jvm flaw (possible, but very unlikely). Start stripping out code until you get down to a minimum size that still exhibits the problem. If then you can't clear it, post the minimal code and some information as to what's happening - you may want to try an analyzer.
If the problem appears to be a GUI issue, post into the Swing forum, otherwise post into the Java Programming forum - more people read those.

The best working solution at this time is to download and install Skype 6.14 and disable updates. If you still get prompts to upgrade you can ignore them and the program should continue to function as it has not been retired as of yet. Hopefully there will be a resolution in a future Skype update or an updated driver from HP that might resolve the issue.

Windows Crashes with Bootcamp Driver Instal

Just loaded Windows XP SP2 on my new IMac...partition and Windows load went fine. When I loaded the OSX Windows drivers, per the instructions, after quite a few driver installations, the blue screen of death came up stating Windows was closed due to errors (twenty digit error number...who in the world would know what that means). This happened several times after numerous attempts. Bottom line; everything (Internet, ISight, etc.) in Windows works except no sound...so a lot of drivers where loaded. Downloaded the latests Apple update for windows and latests windows update. Device manager states all audio codecs, etc. are fine...but no audio is detected in audio manager, and no sound. Sound in OSX is fine. I suppose there is a driver download available, but I could not find a sound driver on the OSX install disk for bootcamp...if there is one in the OSX install disk, you'd need to be a cryptologist to figure out which one it is. So, could the OSX disk be bad for the driver install?? If so, would that screw up the Apple for Windows update, which should have loaded the right drivers??

For MacPro 2008, BootCamp (OSX Disk 1)->Drivers->RealTekSetup.exe (Not in a sub folder) is the audio in my case. You should be able to run individual rather than whole BC setup.

Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB causes windows crash and to go in a reboot loop

I bought this Seagate external USB HDD 1000Gb capacity and have been using this for a while. I was able to backup about 500gb of data. This external hdd was permanently hooked on to my computer which has win XP pro (4gb ram, 2.66Ghz CPU Pentium). I have used this only for backing up personal data ,photos and videos.
One day I got the dreaded blue screen and rebooted my machine. The machine went on a reboot cycle. It used to show BIOS screen then windows logo and back to BIOS screen.
After that I unhooked my external HDD and the machine booted up clean. Now when I try to hook the external HDD and power it on, my windows crashes with the blue screen and shows the ntfs error.
How do i make it work. I have lots of data which I can't afford to lose.

Sounds like the drive has gone bad, not a common problem by any means. If the data is important, there are several data recovery options including Geek Squad. These options are not cheap though.

Hey cdiesel32,
Do you have Logitech or other USB camera software installed on the computer? This article says iPhone in the title but relates to the iPod touch also.

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

Itunes 10.5 crashes with no error when trying to play any music, video, or import/scan from the library folder on the compter with Windows 7 Pro.

Fresh install with all older itunes un-installed as well as other Apple software.
Now cannot get any songs, videos, or even scan library folder for songs to work on the computer.
itunes just simply crashes with no error comments.
This is itunes 10.5 on a Windows 7 Pro system.

Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
Is there no one to call about this??

Itunes keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!!

After new Itunes update ... it keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!! I have unninstalled it .. installed it, but nothing happens. I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 3
The details view of this entry contains further information.

likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away
