    Security App

    Crashes indicate Avira being a possible cause. Remove Avira and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase

    Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, both recommended from a strict BSOD perspective.

    Microsoft Security Essentials, Free antivirus for windows
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free


       Information
    DO NOT start the free trial of MalwareBytes. Deselect the option when prompted.

    Please run these tests and report back the results

    1. SFC /scannow to check windows for corruption - SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
    2. Disk check for errors on the hard drive - Disk Check
    3. Troubleshoot applications by a clean boot - Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
    4. Memtest86+ paying close attention to part 3 - RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Thank you,

    1-SFC /scannow didnt find anything wrong with system files.
    2-Disk check still had a crash after it.
    3- i have a gaming pc so all my services are needed, if a clean boot helps than i would rather re-install windows than disable a service.
    4-memtest86+ made the USB ill do it tonight.
    5- my 1TB is "WDC WD10EARX-22N0YB0 ATA DEvice" didnt find the test software.

    -will re-installing windows fix everything ?
    -uninstalled Avira.

    It appears your motherboard has a bad slot, if you ran memtest as in the tutorial you would find that. even one error is bad. the shutdown won't hurt your RAM, but a bad slot or RAM module may make the system unusable.
    I doubt you need all applications to start with Windows, they will still work when you want them to.

    A reinstall may not help until you determine what the issue is causing the BSOD.

    Just started windows with a clean boot (disabled everything services/startup) still got a BSOD.

    Question : since i unplugged the power cable while playing (graphic card temp rises and the fan is off) could the heat harm the card memory ? (2GB dedicated memory) and causes a bsod ?

    It could damage the GPU chip. Check all of your cable connections, pull them off and reconnect to be sure. How hot is the GPU? Usually 80C or over is bad.

    I have had a power cord problem before (damn cat) and it changed the bios. I reset the bios and things worked well.
