Hi,
I've got a Gigabyte Nforce 4 motherboard with an AMD processor (K8N-Ultra-Sli). The mobo has a built in hardware firewall, which runs fine with Avast 4.6 on the drivers from the Gigabyte website (Nvidia v6.31), however when I install the new drivers off the Nvidia website (v6.53) it boots fine, but as soon as Avast tries to do anything net related it will blue screen and reset too quick to read the error message.
If I turn off all the Avast services, it will run fine, but if I try to update Avast over the net it will crash the computer again, so it's definitely clashing with Avast.
The only solution at the moment is to un-install the Firewall drivers, and revert back to the version from Sept last year, which aren't as speed optimised or Firefox browser friendly.
Has anyone out there experienced similar, or does anyone know a workaround?
Kind Regards,
Rygle.
