    Memory exception caused by your Avast.

    Avast can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S . Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

    Though i dont like Microsoft Security essentials. I dont like blue screens even more.
    Theres nothing else that seemed to cause the BSOD?
