Ok it just happened again.. going to contact pk about this..

I looked at your uploaded memory dump, and it was a fault in your video driver (i'm really not sure what's the reason)... you can try to update your drivers or check hw/installed apps. Or wait for another dump - once you get it, upload it on our ftp, and email me.

tech details from dump:
nt!KeBugCheckEx
dxgkrnl!TdrBugcheckOnTimeout
dxgkrnl!DXGADAPTER::Reset
dxgkrnl!TdrResetFromTimeout
dxgmms1!VidSchiWorkerThread
nt!PspSystemThreadStartup
nt!KiStartSystemThread

- you can try to google "TdrBugcheckOnTimeout" and read some posts on this topic

Off topic - but what happened to Lukas?

When I (and others) had problems with AIS firewall spontaneously stopping a year or so ago Lukas was the FW component dev who sorted them.

if you find a serious problem in FW, email directly to rypacek at avast dot com; he's responsible for FW component in avast

Just to clarify for other users on the forum, they should still go through the forum and troubleshoot with us first as we can usually fix the problem, then we can direct them to the appropriate person at Avast if needed.  Thank you pk for your input.  ;)

Thanks pk!  :) I actually had issues with my VGA drivers and did a clean installation. I have 2 questions regarding this.
1- could this be due to a VGA hardware failure? I reinstalled the drivers in the beginning of may.
2- VGA driver failures wouldn't affect the firewall would it? So should I email Lukas?

1- yes, hw failure (or driver problem), or a conflict -- I can't say, because I don't know anything about video drivers
2- yes, this dump has nothing to do with FW; email lukas, thanks

Thanks! Will do. By the way, did those crashes occur in may or? I want to know if they occurred after I reinstalled my VGA drivers.

Thanks again!

Thats a slight relief :) - the VGA being ok after I reinstalled the drivers.

Will email him.

Thanks for the help :)

So after the dump report you were told that the VGA drivers were the problem?

I know you mentioned that this is a laptop that is now out of warranty too.  So if you had to replace the driver...bad news.  :'(  I guess it is best to wait for Lukas and hope it is good news.
