Hi - first wanted to say I searched the forum for an answer to my problem, and I see a number of posts about BSOD, but none seem to be my exact problem.
Windows starts up fine, but at any time during the day the BSOD can appear out of (and into) the blue, even if I’m not working on the PC at the time. I’ve pasted the text from the dmp file below.
I’m using avast Internet Security v2014.9.0.2008. I know this driver is connected to the avast firewall, so I’m turning off the firewall and going to see if the BSOD keeps happening. However, it would be nice to use it, since I’m paying for it. Is there a known solution to this problem?
Thanks,
CM
