I am running Windows 8.1 and recently tried to install Avast PRO antivirus and right before it finished installing it gave me the Blue Screen of Death error mentioned in this post's title.
I called Avast tech support twice while I was troubleshooting and both times they wanted me to pay $150+ for a year subscription for them to help me fix this one problem when all they thought it was, was Avast was conflicting with Trend Micro, MalwareBytes, and SuperAntiSpyware that I still had installed on my PC.
So I went into the control panel, uninstalled all three, did a registry cleanse using WinThruster, cleaned out system junk using WinSweeper, updated all drivers using DriverDoc, ran a system file check using the command prompt, and attempted a system restore (when the computer rebooted, it said the restore was unsuccessful).
My next step is I'm going to check the dmp files to see what might be causing it. Anyone have any ideas, I'm almost at a total loss.
The only other symptom I have is my mouse has been laggy for the past two days, I don't know if that's related, but my computer runs just as well as it did when I had it custom built over a year ago. Everything else on it is completely fine.
Please help.
