Dear Friends, My first time here since Worldstart closed its doors. I've posted this in another forum and I've posted it to the Avira Community, but have not found a "solution.." I thought it would be relatively simple, but it has not been. I actually lost track of this new forum or I would of reached out here before now. I know generally a blue screen is not a good thing. I looked at a few reports and I have tried a number of things. I booted the computer a few days ago and did something else for a couple hours. When I came back there was the blue screen. (see attachment) Don't know if this has anything to do with this blue screen? But I have the ethernet cable connected and the wireless adapter in place as well. I believe it was Sunny implied you should have one or the other or they will conflict. But I have had them booth connected for the longest time and there hasn't been any issues. . As far as I know all the drivers are up to date as welll as the BIOS and the computer is "clean." Things I've done: Uninstalled and reinstalled AVIRA free as I could not open it. I finally removed it and installed MSEssentials. Ran both CHKDSK and sfc /scannow and there were no bad sectors or files found. Uninstalled and reinstalled software for the Netgear wireless adapter using the disc that came with it per Netgears suggestions. The adapter is working fine as I tried it on another computer. Performed these steps re Dump Files: 🌟🌟How To Do It 1. Go To My Computer 2. Select C Drive 3. Type DMP In The Search Box 4. Select & Delete All The DMP Files 5. Now Right Click On The C Drive And Click On Properties And Click On Drive Cleanup 6. Delete All The Files 7. Now In My Computer Click On System Properties then Click On Advanced system Settings And Click On Settings In Startup and Recovery And Then Click Or Uncheck Automatically Restart Option In System Failure Done. Now Restart Your PC . I'm baffled... Thank You in advance for your care, expertise and attention to this matter. Respectfully, Raphael Make and model: Compaq Presario CQ 5700F PC Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It came with 2 GB and I added another 2GB so it has 4GB total. support.hp.com/us-en/produc...51496?jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_s-001_title_r0002Specs: OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II 170u Processor, AMD64 Family 16 Model 6 Stepping 3 Processor Count: 1 RAM: 3839 Mb Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics, 256 Mb Hard Drives: C: 454 GB (374 GB Free); D: 11 GB (1 GB Free); Motherboard: FOXCONN, 2AB7 Antivirus: MSE Serial number: REMOVED by jholland1964 Product number: REMOVED by jholland1964

How many times have you gotten this identical blue screen error? If it was just once then it often is just a one time happening and will never happen again. I wouldn't take any drastic action if it only happens once, it may never happen again. When this originally happened did you shut down the computer completely, wait a few minutes and then turn it back on? If so did the blue screen occur again?
Much of the time a 3rd party hardware driver can cause this blue screen and with this one, 0x0000003b blue screens most often are a problem involving your video adapter software (display adapter/video driver) problem. . You said you had fully updated drivers, where did you get them?
Is your Windows 7 Home Premium fully up to date?
Very unlikely that Avira has anything to do with the blue screen also doubt the ethernet cable connected / wireless adapter caused it.
Not sure why you deleted the DMP files, those can be very valuable and could possibly have given you the reason for the blue screen. They certainly wouldn't have caused it.
When did Avira stop working? What version was it? How did you uninstall it? Occasionally the odd file or two will remain and those must be uninstalled using an additional tool from Avira.
Where did you get the new version of Avira Free? You would need a brand new install file to do the install.

Thank You! I have got the Blue screen many times. I thought it was a fluke and one time thing. It continued. The first time it happened the screen stayed on until I manually shut it down. And any following times I just shut it down manually as well..otherwise it would stayed on forever.
Any drivers I got they were from the HP website. There are no Important Updates available..I did just install one update ATI Technologies Inc - Display -ATI Radeon 3000 graphics that was listed as optional. The last Important update was dated 8/8/2017 (KB4034664)
Avira got screwy about a week ago. I don't recall the version? I uninstalled from Add/Remove programs as Avira suggests. When checking Program files C:\Program Files\ there are no Avira files.
The version of the graphics driver I have installed is not the same. It is version 8.970.100.1100 which I assume is an updated and latest version
The new version of AVIRA was from their website and no where else.
Example: Files that help describe the problem:
090317-16021-01.dmp
sysdata.xml
WERInternalMetadata.xml
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 3b
BCP1: 00000000C0000005
BCP2: FFFFF80002E38820
BCP3: FFFFF88007BFA980
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1
Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\090417-17877-01.dmp
C:\Users\r\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-24991-0.sysdata.xml
There is nothing listed in the Device Manager>View/check hidden devices. There are no exclamations icons anywhere FWIW.
All I can tell you for sure is if I download and install AVIRA right now.. I will get a blue screen like the one attached.
Respectfully, Ralph

I will say again, Avira has nothing to do with this. You are confusing two different things. Do nothing about Avira. You should never be installing new programs when there is some sort of major problem with the computer. Why is your post here different from what you posted at Avira? Here you say this:
But in your thread at Avira you said;
There is one item under the General tab>it is the Non-Plug and Play Drivers. Device status>This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed (Code 24) Display name: NetGroup Packet Filter Driver. Status: Stopped, Startup type: Automatic."

Go here and follow directions to find out exactly what driver is causing the problem. I say again, it has nothing to do with Avira www.wikihow.com/Read-Dump-Files

I have reseearched this all evening. Every single answer I have found gives the same information, namely what shows below. This locale indicates a a graphics card driver crash. You gave this information in your post #3 Uninstall that recently installed graphics driver and instead install the original driver given on this link: support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/compaq-presario-cq5700-desktop-pc-series/5035292/model/5051496/swItemId/pv-89943-1If you note, the one you said you did just install one update ATI Technologies Inc - Display -ATI Radeon 3000 graphics that was listed as optional, optional means you do not have to take it. Your error indicates a problem with the graphics/video driver. So this recent driver you installed is incorrect. Remove it. Install the driver from the link. Edit: Additional info found; Also just found that Windows Update (KB4034664) which you said you installed on 8/8/2017 has also caused graphics problems on some machines. It definitely causes problems with computers using dual monitors and also with computers that have NVidia graphics cards. Have not found anywhere that it causes problems with computers using your graphics card but just thought I would mention it. They had issued a fix for the problem but it also ended up being buggy and people were told to remove it.

If Judy's suggestions do not work, I would uninstall KB4034664 and see if that fixes the problem. If the uninstall fails to fix it you can always reinstall it.

How do you get notifications on here? I would of responded sooner otherwise. I uninstalled the newer driver and installed the one from the link Judy supplied The Update KB4034664 is not listed as installed. I ticked on the umbrella in the taskbar and the screen went blue and created the dump file that I believe nirsoft is showing. See enclosed attachments from nirsoft. I have no idea what those mean? That was as far as I got..The next method is not usually needed Using WinDBG. Do I need to completely uninstall MSE AV or is disabling Real Time Protection enough. Best, Raphael Attachments:

I thought you completely uninstalled Avira and are now using MSE. If that is the case then you have a major problem because you stated this in your most recent post: If you uninstalled Avira then there should be NO umbrella in the taskbar. But then you ask about MSE: Which program are you using? There error code in the attached files from nirsoft is identical to the one you have been receiving each time and also as shown on your Blue Screen attachment Which indicates a problem with the Graphics card Or possibly bad RAM. It has absolutely nothing to do with Avira or MSE but there is a major problem if you have both of these anti-virus programs installed and running on your computer. Here are two other confusing statements; In your post from Sept. 9, 2017 at 7:05 p.m. you said this: But now in your most recent post you said this; This is all very confusing. You need to be more clear. What anti-virus is installed and running? You said the latest update you had was installed August 17, 2017 and now tonight you say it is not installed. It would not be gone unless you uninstalled it. Did you? Please perform a Clean Boot of the computer to see if the blue screens continue. Follow the directions given on this page on how to do a clean boot. Once it is booted clean then use the computer and see if the blue screen happens again support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135

I thought you completely uninstalled Avira and are now using MSE. If that is the case then you have a major problem because you stated this in your most recent post: Thank YOU! I did but I reinstalled..to see if it still affected the computer and it did just as soon as I ticked the little umbrella in the taskbar I got a Bluescreen. MSE was still installed, but I disabled Real Time Protection which I thought was okay and would not interfere with Avira?!? If you uninstalled Avira then there should be NO umbrella in the taskbar.

I am not sure why that Windows Update would not show because based on your Installed Updates it was definitely successfully installed on 8/8/2017. All you should have had to do is double click on that listing and then you should have been given the option to uninstall it. www.wikihow.com/Uninstall-All-Windows-UpdatesBut you need to deal with something else FIRST: Due to the fact that you reinstalled Avira without asking or saying anything in advance here and that you installed it without first removing MSE you need to Uninstall Avira again. Please do it this way: Go to Programs and Features and Uninstall every listing for Avira. There definitely should be a minimum of two Avira listings but depending on what options of the program you installed there may be more, remove them ALL. Click on: Start → Control Panel → Programs → Programs and Features. Search the Avira product, click with the right mouse button on it and select Uninstall. Confirm the product uninstall notification with Yes. The Avira Setup will take some minutes to uninstall the product. Confirm the notification to restart your system with Yes. After the reboot of your PC the Avira product then do the following: Download the free Avira RegistryCleaner tool. install.avira-update.com/package/regcleaner/win32/en/avira_registry_cleaner_en.exeAfter the tool is downloaded then Please Re-Start your computer in Safe Mode. Open the Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcut Win+E and delete manually all Avira directories available under the program and application files: Program files Windows 7 / 8: C:\Program Files\ After you have manually deleted all the Avira directories then please do the following: Clean up the Windows registry using the previously downloaded "Avira Registry Cleaner" tool. Double-click the downloaded avira_registry_cleaner_en.exe file. Accept the license terms. Select ALL Avira products. Click Remove. Do not reinstall Avira unless directed to do so and then only AFTER uninstalling MSE. #1 rule for anti-virus programs is only ONE should be installed on the computer. Then follow the previous instructions concerning Clean Boot. Work awhile with the computer during the clean boot as you normally would and see if the Blue Screen happens again.

Thank You! and I am sorry about not being more informative.
This is where I've stopped. In what order do these *"need" to be done?
Do not *reinstall Avira unless directed to do so and then only AFTER *uninstalling MSE. #1 rule for anti-virus programs is only ONE should be installed on the computer. Got it I understand, but I did think that turn off real time protection disabled it

You have done nothing so you should say you didn't start. Honestly I am not sure why these instructions seem to be confusing to you. Instructions are posted in the order that they must be done. Start from the top and work down. Nothing confusing or difficult about that. Re: Antivirus removals; Turning off real time protection does not remove the program or evidence of it from the computer. Many other anti-virus programs will not fully install if there is even evidence of another anti-virus program installed on the computer. Even with real time protection turned off there very often are some files still active in the background. Some security programs will not install at all until other programs are uninstalled first.

in clean boot i could get online and do the things I normally do. However, I cannot get Avira to Open. If I hover the pointer over the small umbrella and right click it or just allow the pointer to rest over the umbrella the only thing it says is "initializing..." If I left click on the umbrella it does nothing. If I tick on it enough times it disappears and will not reappear unless the computer is rebooted. Neither of the icons in the Start menu do a thing. I cannot get AVIRA to Open or do anything. I did get a blue screen twice it initially happened when I ticked the small umbrella. Sincerely, Raphael

I have to be honest here, I am not certain what to do now because you insist on not following instructions as given so there is no way to properly test what might be causing your problems. You said you uninstalled and reinstalled Avira but couldn't get it to work so you uninstalled it and installed MSE. In my post #4 I said the following;
You ignored that instruction and did reinstall Avira, without uninstalling MSE, noted in your post #8
In post #13 I said the following;
I gave the full instructions for removal of Avira along with the additional step of using the Avira RegistryCleaner too to be absolutely certain that all Avira files were gone from the computer. I then said this;
Did you follow these instructions as given? Absolutely not as noted by this post from you;
Did you remove Avira as instructed? No you did not. Did you leave Avira off the computer until told to reinstall it? No you did not. The clean boot DID work as it should have done because Avira would not respond and it should not have responded. Clean boot only allows MS files to auto start. It does not allow 3rd party apps to auto start. But this tells us nothing because you still have Avira on the computer and you tried to make it work. That was not the point of the Clean boot.
I have no idea what else to suggest because you don't follow the instructions as given so it's impossible to determine the true cause of your problem. Sorry.

No matter what you feel, you did not follow the instructions as given. You obviously do not believe what the error codes say, problem with graphics. You are absolutely certain all of this has been caused by Avira. So only way to prove that is to totally uninstall Avira and I gave you the instructions on how to do this. If the Blue Screens did not occur with Avira 100% gone that would have proven that Avira was the cause. But since you never removed it there is no proof.
All of the Blue Screen error codes were identical and all pointed to a graphics problem. I realize you do not believe that but that is what they said. Could there be something else that could trigger the problem, certainly, but there is some underlying reason this happens.
You created a thread with this same problem at Bleeping Computer early on Sept. 5th, which you never mentioned here, and later on that same day you began the thread at the Avira forum which you did mention here. You began this thread here on September 9th. I told you the error codes all indicated a graphics problem. You didn't believe it Since you have threads going at two other forums I would suggest that you continue with those and hopefully one of them can provide a solution for you. There are others here who may very well have other suggestions. I personally just have no other suggestions and have found none. Sorry.

Judy, Thank YOU!
I'm sorry to put you through all this..I did give it an honest go really!
Even if I uninstalled Avira as you or Avira suggested with and or with out the special tool. MSE works for some reason.. I've got AVIRA on another notebook or two and Avira seems to run fine on those. Avira has been running fine on this PC for about a year or two. And in all the time I've used AVIRA I've never encountered an issue like this one.
Perhaps if I had a paid version I'd call on the Avira experts and maybe(?) they could sort this out. They referred me to the Community which really hasn't helped..one of the responses on there I thought was a little far out if you ever get a chance again or care to you should read it.
I'm not asking for help with any intentions of making kind folks angry with me., as it is done voluntarily at no cost and in many cases saves some kind soul an expensive trip(s) to the Geek Squad or other Technical shops and technicians and sometimes it takes them a while to figure it out.
For now I may have to run MSE..it is a little lighter weight then Avira, but likely isn't as complete and protective.
The PC is going on six years old and it only has a single core processor, but overall I can't complain..it's served me well.
Feel free to comment further..perhaps someone else on here or elsewhere will chime in?!? The HP Forum for this was worthless..Yes! I did post something there as well..Please don't stone me.
It took me a while to find my way home.
Have a pleasant night.
Kind regards, Raphael

I read all of the thread at Avira, I didn't see any responses that I would consider "far out". One wrong suggestion was made and the poster apologized for his error, which is all it was because his suggestion did not apply to Windows 7 and therefore could have done no damage anyway. Other than that I found the replies correct. I also read your thread at Bleeping Computer, frankly didn't see much I found valuable there at all. I read nothing at HP because you again did not bother to give full information about posting there.
As I said, I have no other suggestions except a word of advice; posting the same problem at multiple forums can be dangerous. Advice given at one may totally contradict advice given at another and following recommendations from multiple forums can truly "toast" a computer. I've seen it happen several times over the years. There are some things that can only be done one time but if two forums give the same advice and the person with the problem follows both, then occasionally major files can be permanently damaged because a "one time" fix has been done twice. Posting the same problem and following the advice at the same time from multiple forums is playing with fire. It is also extremely unfair to every single person giving their time to truly hope to help you solve your problems. I did read the thread at Avira and seriously considered not attempting to help but since they had not responded to you in several days I put aside my usual concerns offering help to somebody who has already posted and is working with helpers elsewhere. I will never do that again. If a person has posted at another forum and is receiving assistance there, I will not offer assistance here.

It appears that you have decided to use MSE as your antivirus program and it also appears that Avira was not completely uninstalled. You need to go back and follow jholland1964 uninstall instructions for removing Avira including the free Avira RegistryCleaner tool. As previously stated running more than one antivirus is not recommended.

Thank YOU! I have taken care of it...at this point I have no choice but to change AV on this computer. There is something amiss somewhere. Could there be a possible infection of some sort? Trojan, Worm, etc...
In the Bluescreen Error window it says; Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. How is that done or would it have any direct influence in this?
Curious is JAVA still needed and what about all the noise with Adobe flashplayer updates? I recently got one but have not downloaded/installed it.
Best, Raphael

Dear Friend! Thank You for looking and considering this. I'm not sure what is meant by "Unbelievable!" would you care to elaborate a little. Some folks have recently said for whatever reasons? "they would not touch Avira with a ten foot pole." Those types of comments have no bearing on my situation or feelings about Avira as it has been a good program until this happened. I still use it on two other machines. Any suggestions deeply appreciated. Have a pleasant day! Sincerely, Ralph

Sincerely, Ralph I just find it unbelievable that you have been given lots of good advice and guidance in this thread and your responses are difficult to understand. Now you suddenly jump to worrying about an infection. Did you solve the problem that you first started this thread with? A straightforward concise answer please!

After reading and rereading this tread I think the only way your issues will ever be resolved will require a clean reinstall of the operating system. You appear to ignore any suggestions made by people trying to help. Every new message from you seems to add another problem. You were told the original issue was a video driver problem, you seem convinced it's an Avira issue. Now your asking is it a malware issue. It would not surprise me if you have a malware problem based on the way this thread has been going. Dealing with malware is well documented in these forums and detailed instructions on its removal can be found in the forums. Your question regarding Java and Flasher player add nothing to the solving of your original issues. I would suggest you start another thread regarding them.

Okay! Thank you for your time and considerations. I have been trying to listen to you folks as best as I am able to. We have two ears and one mouth...and I admit I did miss a beat in following "every" suggestion that was made perfectly. Are you folks implying that you've never made an honest mistake or didn't follow someone's directions perfectly?! If you have?! more power to you. I emphasized AVIRA from the start because from a laymen's point of view..Avira was the program that caused the Blue screen..as soon as MSE was installed I couldn't get the computer to display a Blue screen error no matter what I did. And even after deleting all the files and folders for Avira and using the "special" Avira removal tool. Upon installation of Avira again after fully deleting MSE first..As soon as Avira settled down and I tried to Open it it would not open and another Blue screen appeared and other odd behaviors that I have not seen with Avira..which I explained those behaviors. Like the task bar umbrella disappearing, hovering the pointer over the umbrella did nothing when I tried to click it..all it continued to say was "initializing." I'm curious why there wasn't any comments made in regards to the "mini dump" information I supplied which was suggested by another member in post #8? I can't see as the trouble of finding that information did any good. These Blue screen crashes do end up in a mini dump file or folder. Cleaning out that folder did not prove useful in solving this which in some cases does help or work. I asked this in post # 23 because it was stated clearly within the Blue screen message. "Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing." How is that done or would it have any direct influence in this? No one chimed in.. It would seem it was relevant as it was mentioned in every Blue screen message. After doing many of the preliminary trouble shooting things with no results that is when an infection of some type may have been involved was my thinking even though I did not bring up until later in the posts. Don't misunderstand me I very much appreciate your joint efforts mainly Judy's as we have worked through some other difficult and confusing technical problems. Most of the time those things got resolved and I was thankful and I would hope Judy or whomever it was that contributed felt some self satisfaction and relief themselves." Thats some of the Story FWIW and we all have one.
Respectfully, Raphael
I know you think you understand what you thought I said,but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
