Kernal Security Check Failure (BSOD)

Hey Guys,

So I am having some issues with my Windows PC - everything has been working fine for a month. However yesterday upon restarting my PC i got the blue screen of death with the following errors: K ernel Security Check Failure errorwhile the computer was rebooting from a bugcheck? Here are a couple of things I did before restarting my PC that may have caused the BSOD:

  1. Uninstalled Malwarebytes
  2. Cleared Cookies from my Chrome Browser.

When I came back onto my PC and went into the event viewer I noticed that an hour after the initial BSOD I had some Audit Policy Change logs which stated that 'attempts were made to unregister a security event source'. I am not sure if I currently have a rootkit, bootkit or infected driver on my PC, or if this is just the result of a malfunctioning driver or hardware. But I am worried as I have a lot of other errors logged in my event viewer that seem to also be occurring, the following seem to be the most common:

  1. PerfNet event ID: 2004 -Unable to open the Server service performance object. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code.
  2. i8042prt event ID: 17 - The device sent an incorrect response(s) following a keyboard reset.
  3. **Win32k (Win32k)**event ID: 263 - A pointer device has no information about the monitor it is attached to.
  4. Kernel-PnPevent ID: 219 - The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device.
  5. DNS Client Eventsevent ID: 1014 - Name resolution for the name www.yoyo.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
  6. Kernal-EventTracing event ID: 3 - Session 'Circular Kernel Context Logger' stopped due to the following error: 0xC00000188
  7. Distributed COM event ID: 10005- DCOM got error '1804' attempting to start the service TokenBroker with arguments 'Unavailable' in order to run the server: Windows.Internal.Security.Authentification.Web.TokenBrokerInternal, this error also occurs for some other services including BITS, Security Health Service, WSearch etc.
  8. Winlogon event ID: 6000 - The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient? was unavailable to handle a notification event.
  9. TimeService event ID: 134 - NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on 'time.windows.com,0x9'. NtpClient will try again in 15 minutes and double the reattempt interval thereafter. The error was: No such host is known. (0x80072AF9)

I was wondering if anyone could make sense of this information or has any idea what is wrong with my laptop. I have attached screenshots below. Thank You!

p.s. I have run the Windows Memory Diagnosticstool and everything came back normal.

    Hi NM,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

    If it was a one off BSOD, I wouldn't care much. One off BSODs can have many causes from a Software bug to an electricity fluctuation. If the crashes are repetitive let us know.

    Hi, NM28734

    My name is Maritza and I am an Independent Advisor. I would be happy to help you today.

    To know what exactly is causing the crashes, I need to analyze minidumps.

    Go to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Zip the contents of the folder corresponding to date and time of your crashes.

    Upload the content to Onedrive or any other file sharing site for me to locate the problem

    If you need help to generate Minidump
