Hello!
I use Avast! Free Edition latest version and updated on all my desktop machines with no problems whatsoever, except for my Samsung NP300E52-S02PT laptop in which I get random BSODs. Sometimes the laptop can stay 3 or 4 days without bsod’ing, other times just a few hours.
The crashes have happened when the computer is on heavy work, idle in desktop, watching videos using flash/silverlight, etc…
I posted topic in sevenforums.com with my laptop information and some memory dumps:

A user replied saying that the drivers aswSP.SYS and aswSnx.SYS may be causing the crashes.
I uninstalled Avast! on 4/September/2013 and the computer has since been running 24 hours a day and no BSODs … (today is 11/Sept)
He also advised me to install MS Security Essentials which I didn’t because I wanted to check if avast! was really causing those crashes.
So what is wrong? My other machines don’t have any crashes and some are working 24/7. Could it be a memory issue? I didn’t run any exhaustive memory test software yet but I will do it in the next few days.
Thanks in advance.
