Ok, I really want to start cursing now. I did download security essentials because i already started installing before i read your answer. So uninstalled avast, installed essentials, rebooted, after reboot essentials starts updating definitions and right before the end my laptop crashes. After force reboot luckily i was able to get on again. What is causing this

It's hard to say. How old is this laptop? Can be overheating or just faulty hardware. Do the following:

Please download MiniToolBox and run it.

Checkmark following checkboxes:

• List last 10 Event Viewer log

Click Go and post the result (Result.txt).

4 or 5 years, I'll probably have to accept it might very well be faulty hardware...

I can't see event log for that particular crash. How frequent are these crashes?

[wargoat]

Well before my very first post sometimes two times a day. After the topic was closed there were no crashes anymore for bit less then two weeks, then there was the big crash causing me to install windows 7. Started with a clean computer today having formatted all hard drives and just now it crashed again.

OK. I would recommend you to clean laptop's ventilation system. For that you have to open it so if you don't know how to do it visit some local computer service.

Next I would recommend RAM test. Please go to Memtest86.com and download the ISO image for creating bootable CD (Windows - Zip) from the Free Download section, and burn it to a CD. Next, leaving the CD in the drive, boot with it, and let the tester complete at least 6 passes to see if your RAM is working properly. If the machine boots straight back into Windows, then we'll need to adjust your system's boot options to allow booting from CD before the hard drive.

Not so long ago i cleaned out the ventilation system but not much dust or other stuff to be found. I'll try the other thing you suggest but i won't be able to burn cd's for at least a week. I'll pm you to let you know how it worked out.

OK.
