Windows 7: BSOD At Random

TheDesignated1 · 03 May 2011

Evening all, & thank you in advance.

I'm doing this on behalf of a friend of mine. He says he's constantly getting BSODs. When asked what he is doing when he gets them, he says "different things at different times."

Hopefully it's just a faulty driver.

Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x86 OEM
System is less than 6 months old
OS was installed with the unit.

Again, thank you for any insight you can give me on this.

I looked at the dumps going back to 4/19 (and there are a considerable number), and most all of them appear to be caused by code running through the Intrustion Detection filter of AVG:

Code:

0: kd> lmvm AVGIDSFilter
start    end        module name
ae10e000 ae118000   AVGIDSFilter T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: AVGIDSFilter.Sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\AVGIDSFilter.Sys
    Image name: AVGIDSFilter.Sys
    Timestamp:        Tue Aug 03 18:23:18 2010 (4C5896D6)
    CheckSum:         0000C2D4
    ImageSize:        0000A000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

So, either his machine really is infected with something (not likely but should be checked offline using a bootable scan CD), or AVG is busted on that machine.
