BSOD as system sleeps

[shlshh]

Hi,

I've had the same issue several times over the last few days. As I open up my laptop's screen, I get the message that the system recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I assume that this is happening when the computer goes to sleep as I shut the screen. The system hasn't crashed while actively using it yet.

I'm uploading the crash log -- let me know if any additional details would help.

Thanks!

Your antivirus is the only thing that's really needed there.

Avast! antivirus is often a cause of BSOD's. I would remove it with the Avast! uninstall tool and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials & the Free version of Malwarebytes, update and make a full scan separately:
avast! Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for avast! Removal
Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows
Malwarebytes Free

Make scans with the following:

Kaspersky TDSSKiller - TDSSKiller Rootkit Removal Utility Free Download | Kaspersky Lab US

ESET online scanner - Online Virus Scanner Eset

Thanks, I did most of those steps and cleaned up what I could -- we'll see how it turns out. I was hesitant to update the Synaptics Driver as my Windows software says it's up to date (when I go to 'Update Device Drivers' and click 'Update Driver Software...' after right-clicking the Synaptics pointer).

Is it common for Windows to say a driver is up-to-date but for it to still need an update?

Yes sometimes.

Anyway, let us know if you get more BSOD's.

Do you still have bsod problems?
