Hi Buddierdl,

 

Yes thanks - Computer's running a lot better now, except as you say MBAM

 

It will be interesting to see what you find in the minidumps

Sorry for the late reply; been very busy.

 

Let's try to fix MBAM. Can you please follow the instructions for a clean install here.

 

Then, see if you can run a scan.

Hi Buddierdl,

 

No worries - I have too

 

I did a MBAM clean install twice (2nd time uninstalling & running in Windows Safe Mode)

 

The progress bar appeared to stall for a very long time this time and it eventually took the Laptop down requiring disk checks and the like

[Buddierdl]

Just to clarify, did the computer blue screen when you tried to install MBAM, or when you ran a scan?

 

Could you attach the latest minidumps?

[Cairnsy]

Hi Buddierdl,

 

Don't think it blue screened last time, so tried again and - Yes blue screened when I ran it - not when I re-installed though

 

Latest Minidump attached

 

Thanks & Regards

Ian

While I look at the minidumps, let's run one more scan:

Download aswMBR.exe to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it. Allow virtualization if offered. Click the "Scan" button to start scan.



On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

[Cairnsy]

Hi Buddierdl,

 

aswMBR.exe asked if I wanted to install Avast for a better scan - I decided not to - is this OK?

Hi Buddierdl,

 

Looks OK to me https://www.virustot...sis/1404804685/

 

Thanks & Regards

Your computer is looking clean. The only symptom left is the MBAM blue screens, right? Does the computer BSOD on any other occasions?

 

I am not making much of the minidumps; it is not really my area of expertise. It looks like the BSOD may be related to a video card or ATI driver. I am going to ask a tech to take a look.

[Cairnsy]

Hi Buddierdl,

 

That's great - thanks for getting me this far - MUCH appreciated

 

Yes only Blue screens -

• Definitely with MBAM
• Pretty sure when I do Acronis unattended backups too, although I don't think it could even lock the system to start last time I tried.
• I get the occational BSOD when running SolidWorks too - SolidWorks haven't developed a driver for the HP ProBook, so that is almost to be expected 

I tried reading the minidumps too, but didn't have much luck with the MS Developer app & couldn't even open them

 

Best Regards

Ian

Ok. I have received a suggestion to try a memory test. But first, let's clean up the tools and update.
 
First, I want to explain about what ESET found:
 

C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperCam 2\hctoolbar.exe Win32/Somoto.F potentially unwanted application
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Computer Stuff\HyperCam\2012-02-27 HyperCam HC2Setup.exe Win32/Somoto.F potentially unwanted application

 
This is a bundled toolbar with the HyperCam program. If you don't use it, I would uninstall. You could try deleting C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperCam 2\hctoolbar.exe, but it may break HyperCam.
 

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Car stuff\iLividSetup.exe Win32/Toolbar.SearchSuite potentially unwanted application

 
You'll want to delete this file, as it is an adware program.
 

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Computer Stuff\Internet_Explorer_10_TSA13R4YB.exe Win32/Toolbar.Conduit.AE potentially unwanted application

 
I don't know what this is, but it is bundled with the Conduit toolbar. If you don't need it, delete it.

The rest of these are adwares bundled with legitimate installers. Be careful when you install free programs to uncheck any unwanted extras.
 
Now to update,
 
Please update these programs, as old versions pose a security risk.

• Java
   
  WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
  See this article and this article.
  I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
  In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
   
  If you do need java, then you should definitely update to the latest version:
   
  Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder
  • Run JavaRa.exe, then click Remove JRE.
  • Run the built-in uninstallers for all copies of java listed. If Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 27 is not listed, remove it using the Control Panel.
  • Click the Next button
  • Click the Next button again
  • Click the Java Manual Download link
  • A browser window will open with the Java download page
  • Click the Windows Offline (32-bit) or Windows Offline (64-bit) link to download Java (based on your browser type)
  • Run the installer
  • Close JavaRa
• Adobe Flash -> You can get the latest version here.
• Adobe Reader -> Open Adobe Reader and select Help > About. If you don't have version 11.0.07, get it here.
   
  I would recommend securing Adobe Reader against the latest exploits as follows:
  • Launch Adobe Reader.
  • Click on Edit and select Preferences.
  • On the Left, click on the Javascript category and Uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript.
  • Click on the Security (Enhanced) category and Uncheck Automatically trust sites from my Win OS security zones.
  • Click on the Trust Manager category and Uncheck Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications.
  • Click the OK button.
• Cleanup:
  
  Download Delfix from here and save it to your desktop.
  • Ensure Remove disinfection tools is checked.
  • Also place a checkmark next to:
    • Create registry backup
    • Purge system restore
    
  • Click the Run button.
  Now for a memory test:
  Please follow the instructions here to test your memory. Let me know if any errors are found.

[Cairnsy]

Hi Buddierdl,

 

Thanks for all that

 

WOW - not sure if there's anything using Java, but have always updated to the latest annoying version

 

There were not errors found on the Windoz Memory test - no message popped up on login - any ideas where the message log would be that it said it would show on login?

 

I'll run HP's Memory Test too on the way home - from memory (excuse the pun) last time I ran it - it was all OK too

I'll run HP's Memory Test too on the way home - from memory (excuse the pun) last time I ran it - it was all OK too

 

Let's see what that says.

[Cairnsy]

Hi Buddierdl,

 

I've finally done some testing - both Windoz & HP Memory tests come back OK

 

HOWEVER the HP HDD Test failed

 

The HP burn-in Test failed on the HDD test too

 

I'm wondering if this could have anything to do with it being a Hybrid DD?

 

I just checked & noticed the 500GB Seagate Momentus HDD Firmware I'm running is SD23 & there's an important update to SD28 - should I update this?

 

Do you think this might fix the BSOD?

 

If you're Hardware guy has any comments it would be great to hear too

 

Thanks & Regards

Ian
