    BSOD every time a few seconds after startup


    I'm running Windows 7 home premium 64 bit operating system on a Toshiba Satellite L655.

    Yesterday afternoon I was using Chrome to browse the web, and I got a BSOD. The system automatically restarted, and then
    1) I typed in my password
    2) all of my desktop icons started to appear one by one on the desktop
    3) after the last one appeared, I got BSOD again

    this pattern keeps repeating.

    I did a system restore back to 9/29. But I am getting the same behavior.

    A zip file, per instructions, is attached. I am new to this forum and I did read (and attempt to follow) the posting guidelines.

    Thanks so much for reading and for any assistance or advice you can offer.

    Norton is a known cause to BSoDs. Please uninstall it using the Norton Removal Tool.
    McAfee too is a cause to BSoDs, uninstall with McAfee Removal Tool or Revo Uninstallers free version in advanced mode (removes registry leftover)
    Norton Removal Tool
    McAfee removal Tool
    Revo Uninstaller Free

    Run the System File Checker that scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Then run Disk Check on your hard disk for for file system errors and bad sectors on it
    Disk Check

    Look for an update on your BIOS version:
    Code:
    BIOS Version/Date	TOSHIBA V1.00, 5/4/2010
    Get all updates including Service Pack 1 installed:
    Code:
    Version	6.1.7600 Build 7600
    Free up your Start-up, keep nothing except Microsoft Security Essentials:
    Startup Programs - Change
    Observe and keep us posted of more BSoDs

    I've filled out my system specs following the instructions in the link you included. I filled out all the information provided by system info. I was not sure how to fill in the fields after "sound card" so left those blank.

    Thanks again for your assistance. Of course please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

    Unfortunately still having problem


    Thanks for all the pointers. Unfortunately I am still getting the BSOD error.

    Here are the steps I followed
    1) removed Norton with norton removal tool
    2) removed McAfee with Revo Uninstaller and used advanced mode so it scanned for any leftover files
    3) ran system file checker from admin command prompt -- it reported no problems
    4) ran disk check looking for file system errors and bad sectors -- it reported no file system errors and no bad sectors
    5) removed evernote, rescuetime and dropbox from startup folder
    6) added microsoft security essentials to startup folder

    I am still working on updating my bios and service pack

    In the meantime, I am attaching a new zip file created with sf diagnostic tool

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Do you have any 3rd party remote control programs installed? If yes, uninstall them.

    After doing the BIOS and windows update, see if your computer is stable.

    If not, I'd suggest you to take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

    Is the laptop under its warranty? And how old is it?
    Let me know

    Thanks much.

    Third party remote control programs -- I'm not sure what those are, TBH, but I don't believe I have any installed.

    Will do BIOS update and service pack update tonight after I get home from work.

    Then will run memtest if necessary.

    Laptop was purchased new (from Office Depot) in July of 2010. Not sure if it is still under warranty but I can contact Toshiba to check.

    Thanks
