Hello everyone,
My computer suddenly crashed, and I had this BOSD. After going through the internet I installed Who crashed. Anfd here's what I got :Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

aswstm.sys (Stream Filter, AVAST Software)
So I searched again for the error and stumbled on the AVAST forums where I found similar topics. So I installed "Avast Support System" as indicated on this page " https://support.avast.com/article/33/".
I followed the instructions. My first trial was met with an error "Impossible de générer le fichier. Error 12002 (Translated in english : Impossible to generate the file) , and I tried again a second time and a third time. And still the "error 12002" kept on showing up.
So I'm at loss now. I dont want the BSOD to appear frequently due to AVAST or any other program. I'm in the middle of doing my thesis and fortunatly I save my work and the important internet sites every half an hour (as you can see a lot of crash already happened on my PC, so I'm more cautious now), but it's very frustrating. Thanks in advance for your help
