Repeated BSOD 0x08E

Jake1211 · 16 Mar 2016

I have this emachines T3958 desktop that had multiple viruses on it, and a reoccurring 0x08e BSOD. I used avast to remove all viruses and ccleaner to fix registry errors, but only in safe mode. It boots into safe mode but when it does a normal boot it seems ok at first but after a couple minutes (sometimes right away) the BSOD occurs and reboots the system in a constant loop. It points to a file named aswndis2.sys

I ran startup repair, tried to do sys restore but no points were set, replacing ram, putting hdd into another system, and windows recovery disk.

I copied the events from event viewer and ran DM Log collector as instructed.

Here are the logs from event viewer:

Thanks in advance

Hello Jake.

I've taken a quick peak at your zip and noticed that it seems the DM-log collector didn't run 100%, many files are missing.

Do you remember if there was any error message or something out of the ordinary when you ran it? Did you remember to select run as administrator?

Cheers, Boris :)

Please uninstall Avast and use Microsoft Security Essentials as alternative.
Also go to %systemroot%\minidump and delete all files that are not from 2016.
Avast - Uninstall Completely

If any new crash occurs, run the DM Log Collector again and upload the new zip in your next reply :_

Boris, it didn't say anything about it not finishing the tests and everything seemed fine. Ran as Admin

Axe, I'll try your suggestions and will let you know how it turns out.

So, I can't install MSE because I have to be out of safe mode. Running on Safe Mode is the only way that I can do anything with the system. Booting Normally would cause the BSODs to happen again. Should I try to install MSE before it crashes or is that not a good idea, probably isnt. The computer isn't online so unless I have to use MSE for this I should be fine. Uninstalled Avast with Removal tool and ran cleanup.

Does the crash occur at startup or some time after startup?

Jake1211 · 16 Mar 2016

Either. Sometimes 10 minutes after, sometimes 10 seconds

BorisTheAnimal · 16 Mar 2016

So I take it that you can't get to Safe Mode with Networking?

Jake1211 · 16 Mar 2016

No I can, thats actually what i boot into

Jake1211 · 17 Mar 2016

I got it to boot up normally and installed MSE. I reran the logger and it doesn't look like it added any more files than before. I did remove all old dmp files except the ones from 2016. When it finished it just told me the file was on my desktop, no errors. I'll attach it anyway. I am currently out of the house so I don't know if the system crashed yet or not.
