Hi all,
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 that BSOD every time I start up. Start up is extremely slow, and once I get to my desktop I get about 5 minutes before BSOD and shut down. When I ran a system scan, no integrity issues were found. I have attached the dump files. One last thing I noticed is that the computer is really hot. When I leave it on for a few hours, the keyboard is hot to the touch. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Security App
Crashes indicate Norton being a possible cause. Remove Norton and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software. Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.
Microsoft Security Essentials, Free antivirus for windows and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
