XDamian:
Thanks for the  Java tip. I have both uninstalled old and installed new Java. However both took a rather long time. Is that usual? AND are you suggesting that a BSOD could be due to this seemingly minor faux pas on my behalf?

No, it's just that leaving older versions on your computer can leave it vulnerable.

When I update Java it can sometimes take a while before the install bar starts to move for me.

While I have Java installed, because of it being prone to exploits I have it disabled in browsers which you can do if not usually needed, by right clicking on the coffee cup in All Control Panel Items - Open - then under the Security tab uncheck the box to Allow in browsers - Apply - then follow the prompts.

I was going to leave your latest BSOD error to Shane but you probably resolved the previous +75bc0 error by updating your drivers.

There is a possibility of compatibility between MBAM and McAfee of which the steps in this article may address. https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/107694-malwarebytes-mcafee-security-center/

XDamian:
I guess I am still awaiting Shane's reply. While waiting I loaded an app I used to use (although I stopped using it because McAfee Adviser told me the site has issues). System Mechanics has indicated (and fixed) the 795 registry errors. I understand that THAT is quite a lot. I did not have any when I was using SYSTEM MECHANIC. I have reinstalled it, for certainly among all that mess a BSOD could have been generated, YES? (or no??). SO far, with my fingers crossed, Its now 46 hours since I have seen a BSOD. I am knocking on wood vehemently because in the pit of my gut I sense I am walking a tightrope about 200 feet in the air with my eyes closed.
 However, while you do have the list of drivers I have re-installed as per your suggestion (see the NEW Add/remove list I attached), I would hope I could get some feedback on the former messages which indicated what the app "WhoCrashed" returned.

XDamian:
I would like to disable java but your instructions do not seem to apply to Chrome. Chrome does show how to disable java Script, but that I understand is not the Java which pertains to the update I just installed. (Or is it?)

Boggin:
Java Script is something else. http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/guides/java-and-javascript

I assumed when you unchecked the box to Allow in browsers it would do it for all.

To check if you still have Java enabled in Chrome, run a ping test from www.pingtest.net

It will tell you if you don't have Java installed/enabled and the packet test will fail.

If you were just running the free version of MBAM then you can use mbam-clean.exe to remove it or any residue and then reinstall to see if you get the same conflict/BSOD.
