No it's okay.
I just wanted to see the status of the hard drive.
Oh, sorry I forgot to post my results. ATM I'm working for a programming project and I don't have a lot of time for anything else, let alone think about anything else.
I did follow all the steps. I also ran Dell Diagnostics (which tests all of the hardware), which was adviced by my school's tech support, and I didn't get any hardware issues. I did find some triggers after recurring situations: µtorrent and windows hibernate.
If I run µtorrent the BSOD will follow a few minutes later. So I deleted it for a few days now and I only get BSOD because of hibernate, but that's only an assumption. My laptop can run high CPU/RAM/read-write demanding tasks for a few hours without any problems, but when I put it in hibernate, the BSOD would follow in the next 2 hours after getting it out of hibernate.
I hope this will help you any further.
If I can't fix the problem, I could back-up my files and do a clean install. My only worry is, that it's hardware related and a reinstall won't fix it.
Oh, right, I forgot to delete it. I'll do it right now. Is avast! free a good replacement?
Hi & Happy new year.
Have the BSOD-s occurred after removing McAfee?

- If your problem is solved please use the Mark this thread as solved link at the top of your thread or down on the left corner
Happy New Year to you too.
I didn't have any BSOD after deinstalling McAfee and I've been using µTorrent again, with no problems.
So I guess this can be flagged as solved.
Thanks for your help.
