As far as what is next I have a few things in mind but I would like you to run the machine a couple of days and see if it will crash before we close up here.

Also I am sorry you need to reboot after you un-tick that item in autoruns.

I think I might have rebooted but not sure. I will do that tonight. Again, thank you so much for helping me out. I will be sure to blog great things about my experience with you, regardless if we get it resolved or not. Enjoy your day rockmilk

[rockmilk]

Come back in a couple of day's even if there are no more bluescreens and I will help you tune your machine up a bit.

[BM50]

Hey rockmilk it a laptop and I don't leave it on all the time, so do you recommend leaving up and running to see if a BSOD happens or just continue with my normal routine?

[rockmilk]

Just go about your normal routine if it happens it happens there are ways to force it to bluescreen but that is for cases when all else fails in diagnosis.
By enabling verifier,or stressing the gpu and stressing the machine in general if the machine will not bluescreen under what you do normally then there is no reason to try and make it fail

[BM50]

Ok, I know you know best. So I will reach out to you in a few days or more and you can help me tune this baby up. I also would like your input on virsus protection and just get some rules of the thumb for survival in this tech jungle. Enjoy your weekend, and thank you so much!!

[rockmilk]

Ok come back and let me know how things are monday.

I'm having problems running apps as administrator on windows 7 home premium. When i goto computer management local users doesn't show and when I created shortcut for Fixit and right clicked on properties run as admin is grayed out. Do you know how to overcome this?

[rockmilk]

The fix it may not need to be ran as admin can you run other things as admin at all?

[BM50]

it let me run it without admin but i thought there might be a difference or it might missing something. i can run admin for cmd. here are the results from minitoolbox after running fixit
