Solved BSoD's happening seemingly randomly

Hello

I am having a slight issue with my laptop. I am getting BSoD's far more often than I used to and they seem to be becoming a regular occurrence. However, I cannot seem to find a link to when they are happening. One was when I was un-installing my Adobe Web premium CS5.5 trial (grrr...) and another happened when I was using my webcam. Another happened on PC wakeup.

I have followed the BSoD posting instructions to try and make the debugging as easy as possible.

Thanks in advance for any help

Your performance monitor is showing no anti virus?
Download microsoft security essentials and run a full scan.
Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

I noticed that as well. Don't worry, I have Avast! antivirus installed. Both Avast! and malwarebytes report my system as clean. Security centre on its own does say I Avast! but for some reason the performance monitor did not detect it.

Welcome
If you would be kind enough to post again, tomorrow, to remind me, I will be at home with the software necessary to read your dump report.

Ok rich - will do

Most members do not realize that the reports seldom give a definitive answer, they give clues. You have given me 3 bsod reports, each one different cause. They all do show drivers, however, as the cause. This is many times due to a hardware problem. Lets check out the most common hardware problem, memory.

I'm not going to have time to do this until the weekend but thanks for the help. I may not need any more help if I decide to order myself a new computer (which I am planning to do soon)

Thanks for the starting help rich but have just ordered myself a new dell xps 15 laptop so I no longer need your assistance.

Thanks anyway

Glad that you found a solution. I will mark this as solved. Thank you for using the Vista Forums.
