Most Of The Dumps Crashed at "BugCheck F4" -> Most Of The Time It Is Related To "Bad|Corrupted Paging Space"

The Stack Trace Of Most Of the Dumps has The Footprints of " SYMEVENT+0x141a9"(Symantec)

Suggestions:-

(Firstly start the laptop up and when you see the bios which is the white writing on the black background start pressing F8, you will then be presented with some options you need to choose start in safe mode then log in as normal and do the following)

1 -- Driver Verifier

Start -> Run -> Verifier -> Choose: "Create Standard Settings" -> Select Driver Names From A List -> Next -> Choose "klif.sys" -> Finish

----->>Run "chkdsk /r" from command prompt

2 -- Re-Allocate The Paging Space

My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > Select "Show Hidden Files And Folders" > Uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)"

Start > Run > sysdm.cpl > "Advanced" tab > Under "Performance" Section Click "Settings" > "Advanced" tab > Under "Virtual Memory" Section Select "Change". Change the "Initial And The Maximum (Size) values to 0.

Delete C:\pagefile.sys (C: --> Primary Drive) and Reboot

Start > Run > sysdm.cpl > "Advanced" tab > Under "Performance" Section Click "Settings" > "Advanced" tab > Under "Virtual Memory" Section Select "Change". Change the "Initial And The Maximum (Size) values to 1.5 * memory size
