Hey there,

I've been having bsod issues lately and I've used WinDbg to read the memory dump file. I'm somewhat new to reading this type of file but I am assuming that my problem is caused by svchost.exe since it says:
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswSP.sys
Probably caused by : svchost.exe

I might be wrong anyways so can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Here's the dump file in text form:

Thanks!
 
svchost.exe could be many different things. It could even potentially be a virus. Easiest thing to check first is run a virus scan with something like malwarebytes. You can also do a quick check yourself by looking at task manager, details tab, then right click a svchost.exe and select open file location. If any svchost.exe is located anywhere EXCEPT C:\Windows\System32 then it is most likely a virus. Does the BSOD happen during times when the PC is working hard? Or is it random and intermittent? Is it only while installing new software or while starting/shutting down the pc? Pay attention to WHEN the BSOD happens to help us troubleshoot. Also, could you please list your PC specs including PSU make model & watts.
 


I just checked task manager and svchost.exe isn't on there. I guess its not running at the moment. The BSOD occurs when I boot up the PC and a couple of minutes later when the desktop shows up. The BSOD happens randomly. For example: it happened today but the last time it happened was around a week or two ago.

Also, I'll uninstall and reinstall Avast.
 
To be completly honest i have not been very impressed with avast in general. Based off what you've said, I am betting that you got some malware or a virus that affected avast and is now causing your BSOD. If I were you, i would first uninstall avast. Thrn go download malwarebytes and run a full scan. Fix whatever it finds, then reinstall avast and run both virus protectors in the future :).
 
I already had malwarebytes installed.
I uninstalled Avast and malwarebytes just finished scanning but it didn't find anything. Now, I'm debating whether to use Avast again or try another anti-virus.
