    I have Avast anti-virus and I'm not sure if I should reinstall the operating system again or Leave it since happening that 1 time(Touchwood).

    Should I reinstall the operating system again or leave it?

    There is not much advice I could provide within the dump file, follow the instructions left by Golden, to enable to upload the dump file from the BSOD in your next post. I would leave Avast installed, and leave the operating system as it is.

    Nope, there's no need to reinstall Windows. BSODs are just that harmless. I would uninstall Avast though and try something else that the good people here on SevenForums might recommend.

    If you are going to remove Avast, then use MSE in combination with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware.

    Remember to unselect the trail for the Pro versions of Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware; install the free version of each. Unselect any additional programs which also may be pre-selected during the installation.
