Laptop slow after multiple BSODS

[hardikpaliwal1999]

Hi, so my computer has been getting a BSOD everyday for the last couple of days. Today, it happened again but this time when I rebooted my computer, it was extremely slow, far far far slower than usual. I have tried a bunch of things to get my computer running properly but none of them worked. Just wondering how I should proceed from here.

For a little bit of context, every single time the BSOD happened, it occurred while I was trying to run a app that I developed on my computer (aka, in Android studio I would press the play button and my phone would be connected to the computer by USB). So it is probably related to this, and also I have been detaching my phone from my laptop before android studio was done with it-which I suspect might be the primary cause. Also note that before, while it would crash it was never slow upon restarting it and I could be back at work within 5 minutes. Please also note that while it is slow upon restarting, it gets faster the longer it runs. However, it is never as fast as it used to be and also the time it takes to initialize itself after I login has increased from literally 20sec to 10 min.

I have tried going in safe mode and my laptop seems fine, but I am not sure what safe mode does to fix the problem.

Here is the technical Specifications of my problem:

BSOD Error when Crashing: 3 Bad Pool Callers, 1 Driver corrupted expool

I would appreciate any help.

One of them on Friday is caused by Malwearebytes so try uninstalling it in safe mode and see if PC boots up. I will ask someone to look at the dump file.

other 3 just blaming windows kernel which isn't likely to be actual cause.

Colif, I have uninstalled Malware bytes around 3 months ago (long before this ever started). It does not show up on my list of programs. I am not sure how to get rid of that specific file, or if it is safe to do so.

mbamchameleon.sys is still running. I can't see anyway to remove it as it should have done that when you uninstalled MBAM. Its called Chameleon so might be installed by itself.

Try running this and use it to stop the file from running at startup. Its from Microsoft so is safe: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

I can't help you with this. Wait for additional replies. Good luck.

well, at least its consistently the same file. all 3 reports mention mbam.
aapt2,exe is part of Android studio 3

you have 2 parts of malwarebytes installed/running still
mbae64.sys - Malwarebytes driver https://www.malwarebytes.com/
MbamChameleon.sys - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Chameleon driver https://www.malwarebytes.com/

try using this to remove it: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1112
