multiple bsod event 41, kernel-power task 63

[1tinsoldier]

hi, i'm new here, and hope someone can help:

my clunker pc requires a lot of maintenance and p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e, when yesterday i kept having recurring multiple bsod events; have tried many anti-spyware and anti-virus scans- nothing; system image restore- nothing; system repair disc- nothing; 2 factory default recoveries- nothing; discovered i could use safe mode with network prompt and spent the entire day looking at numerous forums- w-a-y, t-o-o many possibilities to sort through... tired of pulling my hair and throwing things around the apartment... can anybody help?

tech specs, event log description, and 2 zipped files @ skydrive (msinfo32 & minidump), in that order, are below:

Hi and welcome

The bugcheck indicated 2 causes of your BSODs. First one is TfFsMon.sys, which is driver for Threadfire :sarc: I would suggest to uninstal threadfire to see if BSODs go away

Secondly, the bugcheck indicated mfehidk.sys, which I believe is component of Mcafee anti-virus software. Third party security software are well known for causing BSODs and Mcafee is not an exception. I would suggest u to remove Mcafee completely for testing.

If you want to have something else to protect your computer while not having Mcafee, please use this free well-known anti-virus and not known for causing BSODs:

Here is the bugcheck:

In addition Tuan, I found that Trustport AV was the cause of his latest.

You need to remove this AV (or more than one). If you do have more than one AV, that is a HUGE problem, and very possibly is the cause of this.
I see that you have Macafee, TrustPort, maybe a third? Either way, remove all but one.
