Windows 7: BSOD when computer left on overnight

celica2012 · 29 Oct 2012

Hi i'm after a little help finding out why my computer is crashing when left on overnight. Recently its been happening everynight, throughout the day the computer works fine then in the morning when i come to log in it's either stuck on a BSOD or the computer has restarted. Attached is the SF Diag file, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Nathan

Welcome to SevenForums

All your BSODs are caused due to McAfee.

Code:

I know you may come back saying "I used it all these years with no problems, it could be something else" but that's not exactly what it is. I would not suggest you on purchasing a newer version of that antivirus. It's a frequent cause of BSODs and to me is not a reliable AV. If you want I'll be happy to link you to threads that were fixed by just removing McAfee.

Please uninstall it using its removal tool:

McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

Replace with free, light weight and trouble free AV - Microsoft Security Essentials.

It's the recommended antivirus program for Windows 7 based on stability compared to others:-

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

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 and further BSODs if any

Just an update, after uninstalling McAfee i've had no problems for over a week now so it looks like McAfee was the cause of all the problems.

Thanks for the solution KooKat77
