Just recently getting random BSOD. Two in the last 3 days. Doing nothing special or different that usual. One happened when I clicked on a valid links shortcut and one happenend when I clicked on a valid web address from my inbox. HD is about 8 years old. ( Mechanical ) Please see SF Diagnostic tool folder. Thanks for the help, B-72
Hi Bonkers,
Your 2 crashes are related to your Anti-virus,

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
STOP 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Usual causes: Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswSnx.SYS
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswSnx.SYS

Please uninstall Avast as it is causing your BSOD's.
http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
As an alternative install Microsoft Security Essentials.
Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability
compared to other antiviruses/internet security software.
Cheers
Dave
Boy.........thanks Dave. Wonder why that is. I really liked Avast. Microsoft Security Essentials isn't preloaded with Win 7? Is there a way I can check to see if I already have it installed? Thanks for the help Dave, B-72
No Microsoft Win 7 isnt pre-loaded with MSE.
You dont have MSE installed...you can download it from the link I provided earlier in the thread :)
Has you experienced any more BSOD?
Cheers
Dave

I kinda wanted to keep Avast installed. It's been good to me. Have had it installed for 6 months with no problems. And I haven't had anymore BSOD sinice I posted. Just wanted to know will these BSOD I've gotten in the past harm my system down the road? Thanks for the input.
No they wont hurt your computer as they have been fixed
Can you please mark the thread solved if you feel your issue is resolved
Thanks
Dave
