    BSOD in normal usage, error 0x0000008E


    This is the second BSOD I get this week, but isn't the same error code, the other one was 0x000000D1.

    My specs:

    Windows 7 Professional x86 (32-bit) retail

    - the original installed OS on the system?

    NO, it's a clonic PC so it came without any OS into it.

    - What is the age of system (hardware)?

    4 years old

    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)

    Yes, at february 15-20 I think, but for sure it was on february...

    1. Avast can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S .
    Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

    http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear5.exe

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows


    2. Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

    They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

    Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads DuplexSecure - FAQ

    when you're done you can use this Freeware:

    MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM (MagicDisc) in its place

    Using MagicISO to create ISO image files
