BSOD intermittent

Welcome to SevenForums.

Bugcheck E1 and McAfee are very common.

Problematic software

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public
Start Menu\Programs\McAfee Security Scan Plus	Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee Security Scan Plus	Public

McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD crashes, consider uninstalling it with the McAfee Removal Tool and keep Microsoft Security Essentials only at least to test. BTW, keeping two antiviruses would cause conflicts anyway.

System Optimisers
Please remove the following software

This software can be cause of BSOD's. The windows 7 operating system does not require these registry cleaning software. They often tune-down rather than tune-up and can wreck the OS beyond repair. Microsoft have improved Windows 7 significantly and it is much better at organising and optimising itself than its predecessors. Check this, this and this thread for evidence.

If you feel the need to use a registry cleaning or optimisation software, most of us recommend the use of CCleaner but make sure you back up the registry before making letting ccleaner delete anything.

Please uninstall them with the free version of Revo Uninstaller in Advanced Mode. (Reboot he computer if you are asked to)
