    You shouldn't be using two antivirus software. McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD;s please remove it using its removal tool from here: Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase

    We recommended Microsoft Security Essentials from a strict BSOD perspective. Is most compatible & provides most stability compared to other antivirus app/Internet Security Software.

       Warning
    Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.


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

    Use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to determine which file is causing the issue, and then replace the file.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
    2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow
      The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Check your hard drive(s) for errors by running chkdsk

    Number down items at start-up. Keep only your anti-virus, this also improves the time for logging into windows.
    • Click on the Start button
    • Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
    • Select the “Startup” tab.
    • Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
    • Apply > OK
    • Accept then restart.
