BSOD on startup after upgrading (Bug check code: 0x00000139)
I should probably preface by saying I am using a custom-built machine and never had a BSOD when I was using Windows 7. Since I took the plunge, I've been greeted by a BSOD on nearly every startup (usually around 1-3 minutes after the lock screen appears, before logging in). About 1 out of 6 startups have no BSOD, as evidenced by the frequency of the attached minidump files. Every time, it's the same error, being KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE, which leads me to believe this issue stems from a single source (don't know much about BSODs so this is based on absolutely zero knowledge). I'm not sure if this changes anything about the diagnosis, but after the PC restarts from one BSOD, it generally reboots perfectly unhindered. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really just want to make sure these errors aren't pointing to a larger issue that needs to be addressed immediately. They're also just annoying. Thanks!
