Getting BSOD, and told that Avast could be causing them.

Hi, i’ve been using free Avast 2014 for a while. I’ve been getting BSOD on startup sometimes and i think they started happening after i instaled Avast and free Comodo.

I’ve got some mini dumps and the like from ‘SF Diagnostic Tool’ if anyone knows how to read them?..

I posted them to www.sevenforums.com and he said it was a WiFi driver, which ive updated, but that Avast was showing up as being a problem too. I dont really want to switch back to Avira if i can help it.

Cheers

This tool from NirSoft is helpful in determining what specifically caused it…

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

Yeah, i saw that in anouther post and downloaded it, but i dont understand how it works lol. I cant handle the gibberish computers come out with, it’d be way simpler to show the mini dumps to someone who actually understands all that stuff…

Not that difficult…

Open the minidump with the program, and click View > HTML Report - All Items.

Post the report here in your thread.

BSOD has been reported many times with this latest version… just read the subject titles. Basically there is no fix right now.

I did that but it creates a table in the internet explorer, i tried selecting all the text and pasting but it looks like this, well messy lol:

Ah, looks like its back to Avira then, oh joy.

Life is not always “all or nothing”. Consider deconfiguring some of the Avast features if they’re causing you problems.

For example, uninstall, then reinstall and uncheck some of the “Tools” they offer. The shields are really the most important part of the product.

-Noel

I installed with just file and web sheilds and left off all that other stuff.

Don’t know what else I can offer other than to state that I’ve been using Avast since 2005 and I haven’t had one blue screen from it. Regardless of what some other posters may have said, it’s not a foregone conclusion it’s going to crash your system. I honestly suspect something else is doing it.

-Noel

You may need to use a screen capture program to convert the HTML report to a .jpg file.

The free ScreenshotCaptor works well.

When posting, click on the “Attachments and other options” link, and under the “Attach:” section, click on “Browse…” and attach the file.

Click on the minidump file that was created on 12/30 and expand it.

Then create the report and post it.

Not sure what you mean by expand it?.. This it?..

Those are the properties…you need to open the individual minidump file.

How? lol

When you start the program, it should show you a list of minidump files in the upper pane. Click on an individual minidump file, and the lower pane should show a list of processes.

It should look like this…

There must be a simpler way than doing screenshots?.. - it would take about 12 to show all that properly.

If you generate the HTML report from the single minidump file, you would only have to do one screen capture…

That said, there are a few things I would like you to try…

  1. Do a repair of Avast and uninstall the Sandbox tool if it was installed. Reboot and see if the blue screen happens.

  2. Right-click on Command Prompt, select Run as Administrator, type in SFC /SCANNNOW at the prompt, and hit Enter. See if any errors are reported and fixed.

  3. Run a Memory Diagnostic. CDD.DLL has been implicated in blue screens related to bad RAM, so let’s make sure RAM is OK.

That wall of text is from one file - i noticed on your screenshot it says ‘mini’ at the start of the name and mine dosent - maybe they are dump files not mini dump? I dunno - this is why its far easier to give someone the files and sort it out becasue i havent got a clue what im doing lol. Cant i just attatch the dump and mini dump files here?.. I tried to attach a zip of what the SF_Diagnostic_Tool churned out but it wont acept zip - what if i rename the .dmps to .txt?..
