Lukor: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=83234.msg694214#msg694214
I'll send another one. Tech.Memory.Dump4b.7z

What's weird: each time, a different driver. Now ntkrpamp.exe? ???

Tech.

I feel your pain.

You may have done this, but I have to tell you since your comp was fine and suddenly started to BSOD. A year or so ago my sisterĀ“s comp started to BSOD because of Avast, and then it was a bunch of different files doing the BSOD. If Avast was not in the PC, it was OK, well it turned out to be one bad memory stick. I believe you said in one of your post that was BSOD under stress.

My penny.

Hope it helps some.

Hello Tech, I have looked into your dumps. They have not much in common. Certainly they don't have any connection with the links you've posted (regarding some crashes in aswsp.sys). The crash types are always different, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS, KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, APC_INDEX_MISMATCH.

In almost all crashes there is a driver on the stack with the name nbdrv.sys. Searching on google suggests it might be part of NetBalancer driver from SeriousBit.

Could you please try to uninstall this product to test if that makes any change?

Thanks.
Lukas.

You're right. I had it installed. I've disabled... oh, sorry, I've forgotten that disable is not enough. I'll uninstall it and check.
I'm managing the K9 one with their support team (by email).
Thanks.

I've curious about why is happening each time a different thing...

A large percentage of bugs is not easily reproducible, most exhibits it self as random behavior. This is probably the case on your computer as well. Someone, some driver, is corrupting the system's structures or memory and since it is probably random (uninitialized pointer or something like that) it hits every time different part of the system.

Or maybe something else.  :P

The stacks were all more or less connected to some networking operations, so we might guess that the bug is close to the network.

I'm quite sure of that. In the first post I've pointed to Firefox Tweak addon (network settings) or VirtualBox or K9. I'm waiting for the K9 team to say if I can reinstall K9 to test.

I've reinstalled K9. Next second boot, the computer start to behave strange... freezing...
Then a BSOD of tdx.sys.
I'm right now uploading a full dump to them.

Lukor, can you analyze it too? Can you discover why K9 is "probably" conflicting with AIS?
Should I upload it (17 pieces of 50Mb).

Interesting, please upload.

Edit: Tech, the NetBalancer driver is uninstalled? It is little strange, since you were using K9 for quite some time.

I'll start uploading 18 files starting with my name. 1-17 are last BSOD. One single, the last, is a dump of the K9 driver.
The NetBalancer application was fully removed. The driver is not there anymore as per Autoruns.
Thanks Lukor.
