HIi: I had this appended to somone else's thread, & thought it might
be better if I started another thread specific to this problem.
I am back using avast again, V4.5 (very recently downloaded).
3 times today my system crashed. I was using QuickPar to repair a large download.
& at the same time I was moving some small files from a DVDrom to my hardrive.
I went to the watercloset, came back, & MS was doing a repair scan of my HD.
I let things reboot, & started over with the Quickpar repair & the file moving,
piucked up my book, found my place where I left off, & boom, down she goes,
reboot, longer repair time. And again the third time, downloading files, & doing
a Quickpar repair.
From past observations, if this happens 2 more times I am dead in the water.
Please let me know what log files you need, & how to configure Avast 4 home to
produce those logs.
I am running a gigabyte MB with an athlonn 2400 all software updates.
768 meg of ram (3*256 meg, all tested fine) no memory shortage by my
memory monitor.
Thanks
First John
a quick follow up, i scanned everything using spybot, & nothing seems to be lurking.
I just had another crash, copying files from a dvdrom, nothing else happening that I
have started. I grabbed a folder with 700 or so folders, 4-10 files in each. It ran for
roughly 200 of the folders, then crashed.
Could there be too much activity & Avast simply shuts everything down?
I will try closing my firewall & disabling avast & see where that goes.
Just got back from shutting off my firewall, & disabling Avast.
The dvd copied flawlessly, no hiccups, nothing. Then when I
went to enable Avast I got a error from windows explorer that
there was a corrupled message in Avast & windows explorer
crashed.
Any suggerstions would be nice?
First John
