Windows 7 BSoD and random shutdowns/reboots

[Oberst Hajj]

I corrected a BSoD issue related to my vid card drivers (looks like that or a similar issue might be back now) and then was just getting random shutdowns/reboots. (that thread has some background info in it that might be helpful) After trying to sort those out with out any success, the BSoD started coming back. So, I'm starting this thread in this section of the forum to see if anyone can help.

I've ran the over night memory test (7 passes) and no errors were returned. Below is the WhoCrashed report from today:

Hello can you please download and run Prime95, run the Small FFTs test.
Also go into Advanced>Round Off checking.

Can you also download a program link HWmonitor to keep an eye on your CPU temperature whilst you run the stress test.

Let us know the results.

Hi,
their are quite a few different dump files included in the ones you sent which can sometimes point to a hardware error. The above is the most common out of the dump files and means that either a system process, out of date bios or driver caused invalid memory to be accessed.

BiosVersion = F1
BiosReleaseDate = 04/10/2009
Your running a bios which initially came with the board and many updates have since been released. Please ensure I have the correct motherboard revision by checking the numbers printed on the actual motherboard itself. Gigabytes do have a dual bios which makes bios flashing less risky but still..

aswSnx.sys Wed Nov 06 12:37:52 2013: Avast AV is known at times to cause issues and indeed one of your dump files mentioned Avast. Please uninstall and use either Defender or MSE as their far more stable:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

bcmwlhigh664.sys Tue Apr 19 08:13:08 2011: Broadcom 802.11 USB Network Adapter Driver please update:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/determine_driver.php

eeCtrl64.sys Wed Oct 09 21:50:19 2013: Symantec Eraser Control driver possibly linked with Norton AV? Norton again is well known for causing issues. Try running the removal tool to get rid of any last traces:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us

If after updating the above you still get bsod's then download and run this app to test your memory:
http://www.memtest.org/ (I see from above you already ran it)

Check your HDD:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/guide-to-using-check-disk-in-windows-vista/

Check windows for corruption:
Find command prompt in the start menu, right click on it and click run as admin. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.

Post any new dump files.

Thanks for the replies guys. A computer buddy of mine came over today and we put in a known good video card and updated the BIOS. 8 hours now running several taxing programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Coreldraw, etc.) all at the same time. Only more time will tell, but it's looking good so far.

I'll take a look at Avast, Eraser Control and USB thing you pointed out kemical.
