    Do you have daemon tools ? That program causes a lot of issues with BSODs. You could take a look at the BSOD threads and see how many people have Daemon Tools .

    I was referring to the com surrogate properties

    That looks normal. Does the computer act up in any way ?

    the computer does not act up in any way, it just keeps showing the mouse cursor loading a background program whenever the com surrogate loads. It never did that before so I went to task manager to see what was loading in the background. It would keep opening and closing through out the day which it never did before.
