Hello MJboyd...

What kind of computer is this happening on? Is it a laptop or desktop machine?

Do you have a camera or webcam either attached via usb or a built in webcam?

I saw in another topic where this problem was carried over from Vista. There is a Vista hotfix available for the problem HERE. I've never tried applying this hotfix in Windows 7, but as the problem originally manifested itself in Vista, and Windows 7 being based on the Vista Kernel, I'd sure give this a shot first off.

I've also seen this issue caused by a bad memory module or a bad memory slot on the motherboard. If the hotfix doesn't fix it, we'll look at the memory.

I tried to use the hotfix and it wont run in safe mode which is all I can get to run. I have found a line on the blue screen that says "Executive worker found in memory. I hope this can be fixed soon. Thank You for your help

Do you have any McAfee products installed on the machine? The file you attached earlier indicates a problem with a file commonly used by McAfee.

The BSoD errors you're getting suggest a bad or outdated driver may be involved. "Executive worker found in memory" errors usually occur after a driver installation fails to release the portion of memory it was using...for this error, turn the machine off and unplug it from power. Let it sit 20 to 30 minutes then start it back up...that should clear the RAM memory.

I Wanted to say thank you, I deleted McAfee and the problem was gone.
Do you know if I a clean install will the problem return?
