I've been having issues with my PC crashing, and I think it is due to old stuff that has found it's way onto my PC over the couple years since I've had it. Old files and drivers can cause your PC to crash. In the drivers folder, there is a file named "A". It's not a .sys and it's from 2009, which leads me to believe it could be a culprit. Is this safe to delete? Or I could make it a DL and someone could take a look at it.

Here is a screenshot of it: https://gyazo.com/1b307e35e404084bfc21731708d33d59
 
Solution
Rename it to something like "A.old" and reboot and see if anything changes. If it changes for the worse you can rename it back to "A".

If a new one pops up you may have a virus.
