Hi Pointman,
Thanks for the screenshots. When you get back to this again, please expand the Name and Command columns so as much as possible can be read (with preference to the Command column). If you have to move the Command column so it is on top of and hiding the Manufacturer column that's fine. Then please show me the screenshots again. While interesting for a number of reasons (for one, the number of Microsoft items - I have only one even listed let alone checked on my system - and what appear to be duplicates of others), I can't tell what they are all doing because the Command column doesn't show the files. If you can do two screenshots for each (expanding the Location column in the second shot but keeping the name column big enough so I can tell which one it is), that would be even more helpful. Of course, if you also downloaded Autoruns, you could just save the file (as an Autoruns file) and zip the file (right click on the saved file and click send to and click zipped folder) and then attach the zipped folder to your next post and I would get it all (well, both much more - as it includes everything and not just startup program - and a little less - as it doesn't show the registry location) - but that's up to you. Then I will be able to tell you much more about each of the items. You've already made quite a bit of progress in unchecking items and I'm sure we can make more.
While the BSOD may well be the AV software as Richard suspects - it often can be (which I can't even identify in the startup listing and that's surprising to me on its own), I'm more inclined to be thinking the NVidea drivers - but that will be determined in the other thread (and I'm not a BSOD specialist). The fact that you did this (even if not thinking BSOD at the time), helped with the BSOD problem quite a bit - I'm glad you proceeded with the check because it helped narrow down the potential causes significantly and essentially proved there is a solution. It also showed you how many items could be removed without causing problems (and in fact solving them) - and I suspect there are even more we can remove once we can see all of them.
But in the meantime, please concentrate on the BSOD problem (despite how doing this helped there) and we'll return to this once that is resolved. I now believe we can make some significant progress and improve things greatly with these methods once we more accurately identify exactly what's there and what's really needed.
We'll see you back here once the BSOD is resolved.
Thanks and good luck.
