I shall get onto that then.

Ill also note that i just had 2 random disk drives appear in My Computer under the 'Others' list that ive never seen before. they both have blue question marks on them and they're disk E: and I: .

 

Ok i just did a 4-5 hour full system scan with Microsoft Safety Scanner that found and removed 7 infected items. I have a significant boost in performance and no troubles as of yet after a restart.

I still followed the BSOD posting instructions. I had to leave safe mode to run the system health report. I ran the BSOD File Collection app in safe mode after the scan and then did the report after restarting.

At the moment everything is running quite smoothly. Just incase, heres most of the BSOD posting instructions if everything starts happening again. Zip should be attached.

· OS - Windows 7
· 64 bit
· What was original installed OS on system? Win 7
· Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? OEM
· Age of system (hardware): Received comp pre built June 2011.
· Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? Nope

· CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4ghz, 4 Core(s)
· Video Card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Thanks for the assist any way, hopefully i dont have to return.

Cheers.
Rhys.

 

ok the virus scan was unsuccessful and im back to the horrible ness i described in the first post.
My McAfee real time scanner automatically turns it self off when it try to turn it on and those ghost disk drives with blue question marks still linger.

 

McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD's. As a test we recommend uninstalling McAfee and replacing with Microsoft Security Essentials and see if that provides stability. Use the McAfee removal tool linked here: Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows
• Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer

Perform a System file check and Disk check:

• Check a drive for errors
• Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

 

I wiped my computer clean, back to factory default settings with a back up partition that dell provided. Before it though i did a full diagnostics test that gave me all green ticks.

After downloading over 100 windows updates, my latest Nvidia driver finally installed and i believe im back to normal.

Only problem is that when i press windows updates via the control panel, it will not load at all, it just freezes the control panel but under processes it still says its running. McAfee controls the automatic updating anyway.

After about 2 days of the wipe, not a single blue screen.

Happy Easter to all, and i pray i dont have to return.
Cheers.
Rhys.
