Solved BSOD on restart and startup

[matthew2846]

I got back off holiday a day ago, and there were loads of updates. Afterwards, i restarted and my computer blue screened. I ignored it, and continued to install the Norton, Windows and GeForce updates. I thought I had fixed the issues, but the blue screens continued top happen. I've tried lots of different things, (I'm writing this through safe mode) and nothing has fixed it.

I've attached a copy of my Dxdiag and my debug dm log.

BugCheck A, {0, 2, 1, fffff8000349ac3f}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for [COLOR="red"]SYMNETS.SYS[/COLOR]
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for [COLOR="Red"]SYMNETS.SYS[/COLOR]
Probably caused by : NETIO.SYS ( NETIO!WfpExpireEntryLru+17 )

Followup: MachineOwner

So we can see that a driver has failed and has caused a BSOD.

Whats that driver?

SYMNETS.SYS = Symantec/ Norton NIS/ N360 driver.

Please uninstall Norton, and use one of the listed Anti-Virus, i listed above!

I've just used drivertoolkit and it says alot of my drivers are out of date, is there a quick way to find them all without paying? Or do i have to do it manually? (I couldn't find the first driver)

Never use programs like "DriverTool kit" They don't work and they are 9/10 fake.

They will either fill your system up with Malware/Virus.

Or ask for money.

Here is a good link to check if your drivers are upto date:

I recommend you Uninstall Norton and not just the driver.

I can't express how much you've helped me, My friends said how shit norton was, and it did delete many good files, such as insurgency maps. I was going to wait 30 days for the trial to run out before installing macafee, but ill do that now. Thanks for the driver update program, I'll get round to installing the updates soon. Once again, thanks!!

I've uninstalled norton and drivertoolkit now.

No worries! im glad we was able to get it solved for you.

Happy posting!

Quick note: McAfee is worse than Norton.
I think, that you should try Avast or MSE.
