    BSOD when laptop lid is closed,


    I've been getting the BSOD for a few days now, this happens only when the laptop lid is closed. I have set the option "choose what closing the lid does" to "do nothing". this is because i have the broadband ON and I'm usually downloading stuff. When i open the lid
    I see a box that says "windows has recovered from an unexpected error" and the problem event name has "blue screen"

    I've attached the dump files........please help

    Easy. AVG and McAffee. Remove both and install Microsoft Security Essentials


    I do notice McAffee which is a frequent cause of BSOD's. I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST!

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    It is never a good idea to run more than one active malware application at a time. The overlap can allow malware access to the very system your are trying to protect.
