Why don't you check your RAM. "Windows Memory Diagnostic"

Note, however, that a hardware test only gives you 100% security rather
than any test software.

This doesn't matter. Due to the crash you've sent your system information
to Microsoft and according to their database, there is a BIOS mismatch.

Well, the manufacturer may have failed to update the BIOS prior to the
delivery. I have performed several BIOS updates and one of them stopped
after 75% of completion. That system was hanging at the BIOS logo screen
after reboot, no way to enter even the BIOS setup. Therefore, updating
the BIOS is *not* a walk in the park. Run the memory test first.
