Hello

I keep getting a BSOD to do with Wininit.exe. Every time it's happened, is when i'm browsing on the internet.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit retail version.
Intel i5 750 with 8gb of memory
It's a new windows install because recently got an SSD and Windows is installed on that.

I've removed Avast and installed MS SE. Is there some issue with Avast on Windows 7 or something?

Ran the System file checker and it said at the end "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"

Good news on SFC and Avast, McAffee, Kaspersky, Symantec, all are known causes of frequent BSOD's in win 7 (and so far win 8)

I'm afraid uninstalling avast hasn't worked, still getting BSOD's. Sort of getting them every other day and they all point to wininit.exe

We could use the DMP files

"They point to wininit.exe" in what app? Bluescreen view and who crashed, often blame the OS incorrectly.


Just in case download Malwarebytes and run it.

I've got the windbg program and when i open the dump files, they say something about wininit.exe. I don't understand the rest of it though.

Here are the dump files...
