    I got a BSOD after try to do a clean start up and going to youtube


    Hello, I tried to do a clean start up , after I did, one step suggested to see if my problem was resolved, which was my laptop freezing youtube on chrome, so I switched to firefox and the problem seemed to be gone. But now occasionally my laptop still freezes. So after going on youtube to see if the laptop froze, it didn't freeze but instead I got a BSOD, and now I am here. Any help for this issue is appreciated and please be patient with me as I follow your guidance in resolving this issue. :) I have also included the dump files.

    Hello phantomx60, I will see if I can help. First, please tell me why you ran a clean startup and how you set it up to run. A clean startup stops some services from running. So, depending on what you selected, some services were not running and if you try to use them, they wont work. This is what your dump file says.

    Code:
    Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.
    BugCheck 19, {20, fffffa800a9643e0, fffffa800a964400, 4020015}
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for mwac.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for mwac.sys
    Probably caused by : fwpkclnt.sys ( fwpkclnt!FwpsConstructIpHeaderForTransportPacket0+20a )
    Followup: MachineOwner
    What I suspect happened is Malwarebytes (mwac is Malwarebytes web access control) blocked fwpkclnt which is an important part of the operating system and controls many things such as internet connection and firewall. That is what caused the crash. Malwarebytes is a good program, but you are running Malwarebytes and AVG at the same time. In many cases Mbam will run well with other anti virus programs. But some anti virus programs do not tolerate another AV program running at the same time. What I would suggest you do is stop the real time protection of Malwarebytes and use it as an on demand scanner.

    I would also like you to disable clean boot and enable all services, so it will run as normal. If you get a BSOD, it will tell me more.

    Ok, thanks for the help, I have removed AVG and replaced it with Avast's free AV, and kept MalwareBytes. Also I have enabled all services again. I did the clean start up as a possible solution to my laptops freezing problem, fustratingly it froze as I was writing this :P . Any recommendations on another AV with a good firewall and any other possible solutions to my freezing laptop issue?

    Please open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

    Do you have the Installation disk, in case you need to do a clean install?

    phantomx60, First, so far as I am aware you have had AVG, Norton, Avast and Malwarebytes installed. It will almost always cause problems if you have more than 1 real time AV running. You have 2 or 3 programs competing to do the same thing. Them fighting each other is always a problem.

    In the second place, Norton is a known cause of BSODs and many other issues in Windows. You will find almost every BSOD Analyst I am aware of, will tell you to uninstall Norton any time they see it. I have nothing against Norton/Symantec. I just have solved numerous BSOD threads simply by uninstalling Norton. That being said, it is your computer and I am only making suggestions. You are free to do whatever you would like and use any program you want to.
