Addition > Faulty Device Manager Devices
Not sure what you mean there. Where do I look for this?
What I was wondering most about was ene.sys - A few days back I took an attempt with driver verifier, and it crashed at ene.sys, which I believe controls RGB lighting on my MOBO. I uninstalled the Asrock RGB software, and I noticed ene.sys is still in the registry.
Not sure if any of that is relevant.
Addition is one of the logs you uploaded.
Small steps now, I'll keep ene.sys in mind.
Ah, now I understand
Only thing listed there is HD Audio, which I disabled because I have an audio interface

Attached ADW log. Apparently it doesn't like my Akai beat pad?
MBAM crashed while scanning. I'll try again. MBAM has gotten awfully naggy since I last ran it in the Win 7 days
Ah, I wasn't clicking the quarantine button. My bad. I certainly hope my MPD pad isn't causing malware.
I've tried MBAM twice in regular environment and once in safe mode. Can't seem to complete a scan without the computer rebooting mid-scan. No BSOD, it just reboots, but does leave minidumps in the event log.
I don't think the FAQ addresses my issue with MBAM
MBAM loads and runs, but the computer crashes while it's scanning
The only relevant suggestion I see there is running it as admin, so I'll give that a go
I don't think this is a virus/malware issue, but no harm in trying to rule it out. Do you think malware is a likely culprit?
EDIT: Tried running as admin, still reboots system mid scan. Not at the same point every scan, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to get through a full scan.
"Do you think malware is a likely culprit?"
When problem solving, we have to rule the basics out.
If you have to go offline for any period of time, let me know please.
If MBAM still fails, run this.
Please download Dr.Web CureIt and save it to your Desktop. DO NOT perform a scan, until you get it on your desktop. If your default download location is not the Desktop, drag it out of it's location onto the Desktop. (If this is not possible, this program is portable, and runs right from the location it is downloaded to, like a USB drive or SD card.)
