PC freezes and produces buzzing sounds

Sorry for the late response, haven't been able to get the time to scan and give an update. Since my last post, I've maybe had one-to-two locks. I haven't had the chance to re-(clean)-install the Nvidia drivers again so if the dm-log collector files say it's the same problem I'll get on that asap.

Nothing showed up on the ESET online scanner as well as the Kaspersky TDSSKiller, which will be shown below. Just a note regarding the TDSS report, every paramater was checked aside from the 'Loaded modules' scanning option.

And yeah, I tend to agree that if I still have the same problems, a fresh install would be appropriate. While I don't mind giving it another shot, I've formatted maybe 2-3 times in the time that I've built this computer and still have had the same issues over the course of a couple years.

Thanks for your time.

I thought you move to the moon or something. It's been a while.

Steve will have to read the Zip files.

I noticed in the post #51 this.

I've formatted maybe 2-3 times in the time that I've built this computer and still have had the same issues over the course of a couple years.

That is not a good sign.

Have you kept all the things un-plugged from your computer except your mouse and keyboard??

Have you changed anything about your computer from 2 weeks ago when we last heard from you??
Hardware, software ect. Anything.

Have you tried any other things to repair your system sense the last time you posted here about this problem.

If so what?

You still don't have any dump files to look at. I did see windows error reports for POL.EXE (Play online) and ffiv.exe (final fantasy). We may try something else first, when you have time to work with it.

To start with Layback's questions..

Yes, I've unplugged multiple usb cords from my computer side from my keyboard and mouse. I'll only plug them back in again once I need them (i.e. need to print something) and then remove them afterwards.

Nothing has been changed in the last two weeks from when I last gave an update. The last thing that I changed was the Nvidia drivers upon essenbe's request. Maybe a couple updates in terms of programs that are already uninstalled but nothing new, no.

And no, I haven't tried anything new to help assist in the problem. Just haven't had the time.

With essenbe's questions..

I thought including the log files would be better than nothing. I guess it's good at least that there isn't a real BSOD problem? I don't know my way around navigating the report so just for transparency's sake...But that's odd, I had definitely uninstalled POL and FFXI if those are the two error reports showing. I guess a clean install is sounding more appealing as time goes on?

Overall, my issue of the computer locking up has not arising at all maybe in the last 2.5-3 weeks however like I had mentioned several times previously, sometimes these events don't show up for those periods and then all of a sudden start happening again, usually in flurries.

Thanks for your time and will be sure to check in more periodically.

Play close attention what you are doing on your system when/if you get a BSOD.
That information along with the logs might help.

That's great news, so far. I hope things continue going well for you.

I can't say for sure if this is exactly the same issue but maybe 5 minutes after booting my computer up this morning I got an actual BSOD. The text flashed by too fast to make any note of what the problem was but I've included the dm-log files which also has the dump files we've been missing out on in the past. I've also included the report upon restart.

Hopefully the information helps.

santori, here is what your dump file says is the cause,

Code:

BugCheck A, {47000002e0, 2, 0, fffff80002f1a527}
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for avgntflt.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for avgntflt.sys
Probably caused by : avgntflt.sys ( avgntflt+3da1 )

That is your Avira Anti Virus. Lets uninstall avira then use the removal tool Avira AntiVir Removal Tool - Download to completely get rid of it as much as possible and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials (Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows) and see if that improves the situation.
