Windows 7 BSOD while compiling

Sine a few days I experience annoying BSOD while compiling with Visual Studio 2003. My system and compiler have been running fine for 2 years or so and I made no recent changes (other than a few auto-updates of different software's). The crash occurs immediately after I press the Build Solution button (so far it occurred 3 times in the same conditions, so I don't believe in a coincidence; the event is rare as I am doing tenths of compilations a day).

My question is: how can I troubleshoot this most effectively, without trying random repairs (disk check, VS reinstallation, Windows restore, painful crash dump analysis...) and spend 3 frustrating days on the issue ?
 
Thank you for the proposal. I have now uploaded the W7F files.

I read in the post you mention that interference with antivirus programs is possible. I indeed have two of them running, shame on me (Windows Defender + AVG). Is it possible to confirm this hypothesis from the dump ? How can such an interference cause a blue screen ?

By the way, it makes sense that the crash occurs when pressing the compile button: the first action on that moment is the flushing of modified files to disk. And I assume that these file modifications are monitored by the anti-virus programs, possibly creating some deadly race condition.

Hi,
AVG is known to cause issues on occasion and I would suggest using Defender and Malwarebytes as these do not conflict. I'll post again once I've debugged the file (shortly).

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

Hi,
all the dump files sent were of the same issue and Process Explorer is cited as the culprit. Either try uninstalling or updating:

I found your AVG files in the driver stack and as above please remove and install either Defender/MSE:

I checked through your drivers and whilst most are re 2013 your manufacturer hasn't any later updates:

Try making the changes outlined and we'll go from there. Please post any further dmp files.
