    Random BSOD, error 0x0000003b


    Hoping someone can help diagnose a really frustrating random BSOD. I've run both the built in HP memory test and MemTest86+ ver 5.01 to check for bad ram and both tests did not detect any problems. The hard disk seems to be working ok. I haven't added any new hardware recently.

    There doesn't seem to be any connection to what software is open as I've had different software packages open and it still happens. It doesn't seem to be tied to the time of day or how long the computer has been running as it has happened at the beginning, middle and end of the day. Sometimes I will go days and weeks between BSOD events, sometimes it will happen daily.

    Any ideas? The zip file with dump files and diagnostics is attached.

    Your Graphics driver.

    That is most of them that showed up. I think it is obvious that Avast has to go. Also why do you have Avast and Mcafee? You never run 2 real time anti virus programs. You can use this to help you get as much as possible. https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility and thi one for McAfee, Download McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool - MajorGeeks

    Then replace them with Microsoft Security Essentials (Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows)

    Update your Intel Driver from HP's web site for your computer. I will give you some info on updating your Graphics driver.

    I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ndows-7-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall you current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver.

    Thank you! I will begin working through these this evening. The McAfee part is a mystery to me. I only use Avast for anti-virus. Unless maybe it's related to the supplied disk encryption from HP? There is a McAfee logo stamped onto the password screen when I boot up and enter my encryption key. Should I switch to using something like TrueCrypt or DiskCryptor instead? I have client personal info on my hard drive so the info must be encrypted to protect against thievery. Would Microsoft's Bitlocker be safe enough to protect against casual thieves? For example, some local delinquent steals my laptop. I'm not worried about protecting against government intrusion because I don't have anything they don't already know.

    If the encryption is from McAfee, I would find another way. TrueCrypt is no longer in business, I believe. I really don't know much about encryption software. But I know that the HP disk Data protection and McAfee is showing up as a cause of your problems.

    Avast is gone and has been replaced by Microsoft Security Essentials. Now I am working on what to do about the disk encryption. I have to decrypt the disk before removing the software, so I'll have to let that run overnight. I will keep you posted as to how things are going.

    OK, thank you very much. I hope it solves your problem. I went back and looked at some of your dumps from 9/14. They had almost the exact same errors.

    It took much longer than I though to decrypt the drive, turn off the McAfee encryption, turn on Bitlocker and then re-encrypt the drive. Basically, those processes took almost a week to complete. It took 48 hours to decrypt the drive, then about 72 hours to re-encrypt. I also updated the graphics drivers. So far, so good. No more blue screens. I'm not sure I would say the problem is solved yet, but it appears I am headed in the right direction.

    I did start having some issues with explorer.exe crashing and restarting, but I think it was unrelated to these other issues. I am fairly certain it was related to a context menu item as I disabled anything not from Microsoft and the problem went away.

    Thanks for the update. I hope things continue to go well for you. take as long as you like, but whenever you feel the problem is solved, please mark this thread as solved. Even after doing that you can post back here anytime you like. I don't know about McAfee encryption, but I do know about McAfee Anti Virus. As far as I and almost every other BSOD analysis I know, consider McAfee basically a virus itself. Again, if I can help, please feel free to post here any time. I don't mind a bit.
