    Laptop Crashes


    Hi, I have an ongoing problems with Crashes on my laptop they are rarely BSODs and are usually just like interrupts which black out my screen and cause me to have to restart my laptop.
    My laptop also occasionally freezes on the windows screen or when i finally log into my account.

    Some more information:
    I run AVG bought and paid for as my Anti Virus system and have preformed numerous full scans with no problems at all.

    I also have AVG PC Tune up which i check often and scan for to optimize my Laptops performance once again besides the usual defrag nothing serious has ever been captured.

    I Have the free version of Malware Bytes, didn't start the trial so its always on my computer. Again Scans come up impeccably clean.

    I downloaded and used Memtest86+ ran 10 passes completely clean nothing was reported in need of fixing.

    Sfc /scannow came back as no integrity errors

    An Extended Version of Windows Memory Diagnostics with 5 passes came back clean also.

    I am in need of dire help, I'm not very tech savy so i may need idiot proof directions, if there is information you need me to collect.
    All i am aware of is i've tried everything i know of to find this problem and fix it but it still exists.

    There is no overheating of any sort.

    I do However use an external Hard drive to Store most of my video games in (WoW, LoL, SWtoR, Diablo 3, Warcraft 3)
    And after multiple crashes the Software needed to access my Hard Drive "Stops Working" and ill need to uninstall and re install it. Its a WD Smartware product.

    I feel like i'm flipping a coin when i turn on my laptop because it will crash numerous times and then finally that one time my laptop runs smooth w/o a problem.

    Please help its making me a Sad Panda

    Forever in your debt

    Several different kinds of crashes but most point to your AVG. I would remove and replace it at least to test.

    I note you have AVG.
    AVG can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S .
    Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

    Download tools and utilities | AVG Worldwide


    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    How To Find Drivers:
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference

    It would be easier to help you if we knew what system you had. Did you build it, or did you buy it? If you bought it, provide us with your vendor (HP, Dell, etc.) and the model number.

    Also, use System Info - See Your System Specs to fill in the rest of your system specs.
