BSOD says Device Driver Attempting to Corrupt the system

Thank you for your help. The file is attached.
I have the vaugue idea the machine crashed due to overheating? New RAM plus heavy use by AVC program?
Should I use the Reinstall Windows disks and make a fresh start?

You can use a program like HWMonitor to check the temperatures of your system. Overheating can indeed cause the system to crash or just stop (freeze).

If the PC is working OK apart from the AVC program there is no need to reinstall windows.

The disk you have bought does not include a product key so you would need to make sure you have this from your current installation before using it to reinstall.

Again, my thanks for your help.

How do I know what are "safe" temperatures for things to be running at?


Evidently AVC does not have a forum, but I sent them an email.
Unfortunately, my email won't attach a file big enough to send them the Logs.

My plan at the moment is when I intend to use AVC for long periods, I will do it
while I sleep and am not using the computer for anything else.

Crashed again. BSOD says IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

axe0, just saw your post now. Will next check as you say, but meanwhile: I was running only a computer game, nothing else, went to bed and woke to the screen black. No mouse cursor. Checked, and computer was running and mouse was running.
Had to Hard Reboot.
Ran Startup Repair, it found nothing. Got a message box saying
"Recovery Has Completed"

axe0, I just followed your link, but I think this will not work. AVG does not appear anywhere in the list of Programs under Uninstall or Change list.
I ran "AVG Remover" and it said it did not find the program. I clicked "Run Anyway" and the scanner just runs forever, "Working, Please Wait".

Could something that runs overnight, such as Disk Defragment, or Windows Update
be causing all these crashes? Would using a Recovery Disk solve this problem?
I have no idea how to "update drivers". When I click on that option, everything always says "You already have the latest driver"

I've checked all the specs of the HP P6710F computer from the HP web site:
Access Denied

possible hardware weakness in the specs I saw there - "internal 250w" listed for power supply. may not be adequate enough when using the computer for more than 12 hours straight or when having multiple usb devices connected

perhaps change/upgrade the power supply unit (PSU) to something like 400w or 500w from Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, Thermaltake, etc. a power supply upgrade is highly recommended (or required) when installing a more powerful graphics card onto that HP computer

In the past HP had been using mediocre power supplies from Bestec (I know because some of these Bestecs either fail or don't provide stable power - I'm using an older HP computer like M8417C and changed the PSU from the Bestec ATX-250-12Z to an Enermax EG465p (465watt) a few years ago - my HP computer rarely crashes now)

also get a copy of Memtest86 v4.3.7 and boot from either a CD or flash drive containing Memtest86 to check if your RAM chips are okay
