Windows 7: BSOD - Right after start up... Works when it wants to!!

My laptop has given me problems as of late. I am experiencing random BSOD's after start up... I say random only b/c the laptop will work fine for a day or two and then go right back to BSOD problems. I have tried a system restore it works on safe mode & networking... currently its working on windows normal start up and so I wanted to take the time out and try to cure this problem before it begins to act up again. Please help, Thanx in advance Kaaz.

Hi Kaaz

Problematic software:
McAfee is a frequent cause of BSODs. Please remove it with its removal tool, McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

Recommended antivirus program for Windows 7 based on stability compared to others:-

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
• Malwarebytes - The Free version
• Good and Free system security combination.

Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

Free up your start-up, keep nothing except the antivirus:

• Startup Programs - Change

Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:

• SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

• Disk Check

Let us know the results

I am working on that now & I will return with the results. Thank you koolkat77... One question how do I post the results? Do I run another SF_Diagnostic_Tool or do I just let you know if the BSOD occurs again... Either way thanx for your support I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me find a solution to this problem. Thank you.

Yup, if they occur again grab them with the Diagnostic tool and upload

OhMyGoodness!
It took me like forever to kind of complete every thing on that list...
So here's the UPDATE.

McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller - COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY

Microsoft Security Essentials - Full Scan COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY KIND OF
-malware found and was prompted to download & run Windows Defender Offline
-Ran Windows Defender Offline from USB before start up. Full Scan completed no virus found. Re-started my computer & MSE found the same virus again & prompted WDO. Re-started computer ran WDO again same result... did this about 3x's then moved on to the next step.

Malwarebytes - COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
-found same virus as MSE TrojanDOS/Alureon.A rootkit:Alureon->Mbr::Alureon
-Quarantined/Removed

Good and Free system security combination - 90% Completed
-I found View device webpage but once there I didn't see anything for firewall/configure to select standard apply & exit, so that part wasn't done.
-added the WOT add-on - COMPLETED
-SuperAntiSpyware - COMPLETED

Startup Programs - Change - COMPLETED

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker - COMPLETED
-Windows Resource Protection did not find any intergrity violations.

Disk Check - COMPLETED

*now by this time i only experienced a BSOD once and this was in the beginning of this process and i haven't experienced it since & my computer was restarted at least 10x's already.
**I was also prompted to install a window update but Error(s)found: Code FFFFFFFE & I am unable to install this update.
***MSE & Malwarebytes still see the virus
****I ran another Dump File and attached it here along with the Malwarebytes report. Please see attachments.

I'm taking a look at the new files.

Run this tool and delete anything it finds:

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

ESET online scanner:

• Free Online Virus Scanner | ESET

I ran the rootkit utility & it successfully "cured" my problem.

When I tried to run the ESET Scan a msg came up stating "Can not get update. Is proxy configured?"

BUT

I was able to get my windows update install that i wasn't able to get before. So for the most part I have to say that my BSOD problem is solved and thank you so much again and again and again Thank you. Problem Solved!!

Good to hear that and I'm happy I was able to help you. Let us know if there are any other issues.
