    Hello

    It seems that the module defective sdb4mdu.dll is the cause of the crash. According to my research, sdb4mdu.dll is a driver printer interface module - which means that it is related to your printer drivers. Assuming that this module belongs to your default printer (which it might not, it is hard to say), disable it would risk instability. I recommend you to run the System File Checker. See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

    Don't forget to restart your computer after you run it.

    If this does not work, try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your printer.

    If it does not either, we can try to turn off the TPM. (first of all, creating a restore point in case something goes wrong)

    I hope this helps!

    Also you can restore the system in safe mode.
