Windows 7 Sporatic Unexpected Shutdowns

Solution
Install MSE, Link Removed. Windows already has an excellent built in firewall, active by default.

(You were even informed that it never causes bsods.)
Hello and welcome.

1) Update your Intel storage driver to the newest from Intel's site:

Code:
0: kd> lmvm iastor
start             end                 module name
fffff880`0107b000 fffff880`01285000   iaStor   T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: iaStor.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\iaStor.sys
    Image name: iaStor.sys
    Timestamp:        Wed Mar 03 21:51:31 2010 (4B8F2033)
    CheckSum:         0008BE3A

    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
2) Update this wireless driver Intel's site:

netw5v64 netw5v64.sys Thu Mar 26 12:21:24 2009

3) Update video card driver from laptop manufacturer's site:

atipmdag atipmdag.sys Fri Jan 22 08:46:46 2010



4) Update your Ricoh card reader drivers from laptop manufacturer's site:

rixdpe64 rixdpe64.sys Sat Jul 04 06:27:00 2009

5) Update Synaptics touchpad driver from Synaptics' site:

SynTP SynTP.sys Thu Aug 27 22:00:37 2009

6) If issues persist, uninstall VirtualBox AND PCTools, then follow what my signature says. Actually, you should follow it regardless.

Alright, Memory and SPD images as requested and I upgraded all the drivers mentioned that had available updates (Rioch and the ATI Card didn't) Dell is pretty bad at posting recent updates...

Anyways I can't seem to find a free Firewall or Antivirus for Win7, Zonealarm, AVG and hopefully not PC Tools all cause BSODs so far. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot
