BSOD on normal boot, error 0x0000001E

Hello,
I receive the BSOD every time I boot windows normally. I can boot fine in safe mode and have used AVG, Malwarebytes, and Spybot Search & Destroy. All three programs return no issues. I've attached the dump files hoping someone will be able to assist me. I believe this is a kernel driver issue however don't know how to read the dump files to find the issue. Any help you're able to provide will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry, I meant to add the additional STOP codes that show up on my BSOD:

0xFFFFFFFFC0000005
0xFFFFF800035836EA
0x0000000000000001
0x0000000000000018

Suggestions on problematic software:

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\AVG	Public:Start Menu\Programs\AVG	Public
Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy	Public:Start Menu\Programs\Spybot - Search & Destroy	Public

Please uninstall AVG, it's known to cause BSoD on some systems.
Spybot does detect few stuffs, but it's known to slow down the system and causes corruption as well.

• AVG | Download tools and utilities

Replace with Free MSE, it's light weight and does not cause problem like other antivirus programs do. (PS: MSE & MBAM are a great combination.)

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Remove any kind of 3rd party remote control program if you have them

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

Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

• Disk Check

Let us know the results

1) You said to remove any third party remote control programs. I use LogMeIn for my school. Is removing this just a precaution? Will I be able to reinstall after I'm running successfully again or is it a part of the problem?

Yep, uninstall it while we're troubleshooting. You can install it back once we know your computer is stable. (Look for the latest version of that program to download)

2) I will remove AVG and install MSE. However, I also use a bootable USB drive with AVG on it, on occasion, whenever I need to get a virus off a computer. Will I still be able to use this, or does MSE offer something similar?

You can use AVG that way "occasionally". I recommend 2 more software that you can run from time to time:

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
  &
• Windows Defender Offline

3) What files were you able to find the bug checks under and how were you able to determine what software was causing the problems by these checks? This question I ask for my own curiousity in hopes to better understand the process you followed in order to advise me how to fix it. I personally like to understand what I've done, so that maybe next time I can fix it myself :)

These are basic troubleshooting steps by looking at the "usual causes" for your bug checks. I did some more commands on windbg but that didn't output anything in detail.

If doing the above do not stop your BSoDs, we do more troubleshooting studying the newer .dmp files :)

Hmm, did you uninstall the log me in program?

Code:

STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 
Usual causes:  Insufficient disk space, Device driver, Video card, BIOS, 
Breakpoint with no debugger attached, Hardware incompatibility, 
Faulty system service, Memory, 3rd party remote control,
BugCheck 1000007E, {ffffffffc0000005, 60040, fffff8800befba68, fffff8800befb2c0}
Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!KxStartSystemThread+16 )

Your ATI card drivers need updating:

Code:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\atikmpag.sys (8.14.1.6243, 318.00 KB (325,632 bytes), 11/10/2011 1:12 AM)

Uninstall the older drivers first: Click on the Start ≥ Go to Control Panel ≥ Programs ≥ Uninstall a program

Link for drivers (unofficial website):

• Download AMD Catalyst Drivers 12.8 Vista 64 - FileHippo.com

Avoid CCC - Catalyst Control Center during installation

Can you update the BIOS yourself?

Code:

BIOS Version/Date	American Megatrends Inc. P01-A3, 8/10/2010

It's not that old, but look for an update...

Okay, you may ask a friend who knows how to

Keep us posted

Try this way?
