SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: a301fe46, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: a2ad0c18, Exception Record Address
Arg4: a2ad0914, Context Record Address

Do i need the lastest UBCD, or can i use a version i downloaded a couple of years ago?
>>  Use a version i downloaded a couple of years ago

That'll do.

If you do find memory failure then open the computer up.  Remove memory chips and blow out RAM slots.  Wipe memory chips with dry cloth or paper towel and reinsert.  Test again.

Ram Memtest 86 v3.3 for 20 Hours did 8 passes no errors, will do scans tomorrow. Its probably a driver which i dread!
you can also test by disabling devices in the bios : sound, lan, etc...
disconnect all extra devices too
