Code:

BugCheck C5, {fffff810034176b0, 2, 0, fffff800033bca4e}

This bugcheck indicates Driver Verifier bugchecked because a driver tried to access pageable memory at an IRQL at Passive Level or above.

Code:

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswSnx.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswSnx.sys
Probably caused by : Pool_Corruption ( nt!ExDeferredFreePool+192 )

Avast is causing issues.
Uninstall it using the Avast removal tool.

Replace it with MSE and Malwarebytes.

Tip

Make sure you don't enable the free trial of malwarebytes pro, deselect the option when prompted.

You also have this program installed...

Code:

DAEMON Tools Lite	"c:\program files (x86)\daemon tools lite\dtlite.exe" -autorun	KingSaber-PC\KingSaber	HKU\S-1-5-21-923562199-2570684281-2349271738-1000\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Daemon Tools/Alcohol is known cause of BSODs.

How to remove sptd.sys from system

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools.
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
3. Double click the executable to open it
4. Click the button shown below

If the button it is grayed out, as shown in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can just close the window.

Thank you so much for the help. Its about time I get around to learning how to read these myself! But you were saying to uninstall avast for MSE's. How will MSE's compare to 3rd party dedicated anti-virus. Again thank you so much for the help!

Oh yea. Do you know any good alternatives for Deamon Tools Lite that won't cause BSOD's?

Well most of us recommend MSE as it never causes problems, and as long as you're sensible and don't download anything dodgy then it will be a suitable alternative.

As for Daemon Tools I did know but I never use such tools so I've forgot,
