BSOD after log on

now can guess what malwb is. But what is sasw?

That product is a known source of problems. Please uninstall.

Now that you have MSE, then you need NOTHING more.

That program could very well be a contributor to the latest problem.

and I've seen that program be responsible for problems.

The program is completely unnecessary if one has MSE.

The program is another one that interferes with and slows down a machine. Remember, every process that thinks it is necessary to jump in the water only muddies the water and creates turbulence.

As you can see, I'm not a fan of unnecessary and unneeded programs.

Strange that I've never had malware and I've never had a BSOD. I had to download Mark's NotMyFault in order to be able to produce a crash on my system.

Ah, my apologies. I missed that you had a new set to look at. I am analyzing now...


The most recent crash was DirectX/graphics card related. DirectX comes installed with Windows, so this may indicate Windows corruption. It may also be that you have corrupted drivers or a graphics card hardware problem.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• Check Windows for corruption. Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.

Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.
