Good evening,

So I have been having some issues with my Asus laptop the past couple of days (B53F model 4gig ram) . It keeps crashing and going to blue screen. It is now working again and I thought I best try get this resolved..but i need a hand..!!

The blue screen message basically says

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent further damage.

plug and play detected an error most likely caused by a faulty driver.

I use and external monitor, could it be to do with this?

Or could it be a heat issue? dust? I use it a lot..and do work it hard. .

I'm also running anti virus and mal ware checks at the moment.


I have downloaded 'who crashed' and you can find my report below.


Any advise or help appreciated, thanks

Rob,

Why a reinstall? It's a Plug-n-Play driver...

If the new drivers for mouse/keyboard don't fix it you can try Microsofts Fix it HERE.

If this is un-helpful open Elevated command prompt as an administrator and type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
