    Also I am strarting to apply your solutions, and noticed you said the avast driver pops up in every log. As I unistalled it, do you know any way to get rid of the last bits which may be left over and appear in those logs?

    Btw could you recommend any good, preferably free, antivirus to replace avast? I used it my whole life and don't know which antivirus should I use now.

    I did the first steps which are the drivers, the unistalls, and a malwarebytes scan. Gonna carry on tomorrow (tomorrow I have half a day off) with the more complicated eset and kaspersky scans and the rest of your fixes.

    Thank you a lot so far master Essenbe!
    Taking out the incriminated stick actually stopped the computer from BDOSing at startup! :)

    Feels good to not wonder when the next BSOD is going to happen, doesn't it? Why don't you keep Avast in for a while? If we get another BSOD wit Avast, we'll remove it then. OK? I say that because you like it so much. I tried it once and didn't. I also think the bad ram may have been the problem and may have blamed it on Avast. If you get another BSOD because of Avast, replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows. It is the only Anti Virus software that has never caused a BSOD. The best AV is you. Don't use Utorrents, be careful of what you download and from where. Always watch for the add ons they include with it. Do not let them install with it. Only download from the manufacturer's site, and be careful of add on's from there too. The best AV is you and be smart about what you do. There is no one AV that will protect you if you don't. And there is no AV that will catch everything. Use Malwarebytes as an on demand (scan when you want to) scanner. Superantispyware SUPERAntiSpyware | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware! is very good too as an on demand scanner. especially for unwanted programs and tracking cookies. I use the paid version of ESET and those two, but never try to use but one real time AV. Don't use the 'speed up your computer' programs or registry cleaners. They will mess up your computer rather than speeding it up. Windows 7 is very capable of policing itself and dealing with the registry. Other programs just mess that up. Be smart about what and where you download from, and what types of sites you visit. That will help you more than any anti virus you can get.

    Thank you very much for all your time and effort and very complete answers. I will finish your checklist tomorrow and keep you posted about anything that happens. I will wait a day or two and try installing avast and if no BSOD happens during that period I'll mark this topic as resolved. Thank you for the antivirus recommendations and good advice, I'll keep all that in mind. Thanks a lot, this website is lucky to have experts like you. :)

    That's great news, and you're very welcome. I hope your good luck continues once the new ram arrives. I would suggest, when it does arrive you run memtest86+ on it, just to make sure. Good luck.
