[Help] BSOD

[Guest]

Hey everyone,
I keep getting the blue screen of death and I was wondering what was at fault. I did a memory diagnostic check on my RAM(which found no problems), and even bought a new HDD. Still that BSOD keeps coming back. So I was wondering if I should suspect the motherboard being the root of the cause. Here's the last BSOD I got.

I've seen this error being listed as either driver related, viruses protection conflicts or those types of issues. Read through these threads: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/42732-bsod-kernel-power-event-id-41-a.html
