BSOD

I have recently started to receive blue screens of deaths after my computer has been running fine for a few years. There has been two over the last few days and avast has been involved in both

Any ideas?

You could try the latest beta: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=15

Yeah I tried that from https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=179943.0 and now I cant launch the UI.

UI Failed to Load.
This is really embarrassing…

Avast antivirus is set to automatic in services.msc and so is remote desktop service

  • Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premium)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

Hi,

Can you provide us with a dump file, please?

Got the same problem just now.

Can’t attach the minidump its too big (over 1MB)

You can upload your minidump(s) here: ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming/
Pick a unique name (and post it here), so the devs can find it. Thanks

Well I originally had the avast premium and malware bytes premium. No blue screens for 3 years then last week I got 2 or 3.

I have updated to the beta avast that was linked to in the forum but im not sure what version as the UI does not load.

There have been no blue screens since changing to the beta but im uncomfortable having no Ui.

p.s the other user Tsusaku has a japanese username, I am also based in japan - I wonder if this is related?

Ohh, not at all, i am just a japanese fan for over 25 years :slight_smile: Not really based in Japan (i am Czech).

Regarding Avast & Malwarebytes, see: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/200324-exclusions-for-avast-users/

Sadly i am somewhat not able to send anything to the ftp. I tryed to connect through an ftp client and it can’t find the IP adress (i have actually problems to connect to any ftp, but i found it just know, i dodn’t used ftp for many years, but before that i didn’t have problems). Would it be possible to send the file through mail or some other way?

I have many BSOD in last 2 weeks (sometimes even couple of ones in one hour) and i think the problem is in Avast and Malwarebytes, they are somewhat beating each other

  1. You can upload it to a file sharing service and post the link here.
  2. Regarding Avast & Malwarebytes, see: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/200324-exclusions-for-avast-users/

Here is the file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SfrFuhvlN98uwPgzVuUtWa1_5pcW1AZZ/view?usp=sharing
Hope it works :slight_smile:

OK, now you need to wait, the devs will be back on Monday Tuesday.

How can I do this when the UI failed to load? Uninstalled and reinstalled twice and used the avastclear.exe when removing

  1. I would first suggest disabling/uninstalling MBAM and or applying the Avast exclusions in MBAM and reboot, see if that allows the Avast UI to load.

  2. If it does then you could apply the exclusions in the Avast UI.
    Restart MBAM and apply the exclusions for Avast there and reboot.

I have used Avast for several years on all of my machines. First time I have had it case BSOD See Mini Dump From Who Crashed.
I think this software is have some serious issues now. I would hate to stop using it. It has served me well over the years. Any on have any solutions for the issue below would love to here it.

Conclusion

One crash dump has been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

aswarpot.sys (Avast Anti Rootkit, AVAST Software)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.

Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it’s not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it’s suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
