    BSOD only when idle


    Hello,

    I have a BSOD after a few mintues idle (never when the computer is working). I already tried to clean my computer, uninstall any useless softwares, and updating my drivers, with no success
    Please find attached BSOD logs

    Thank you

    The log files were in a foreign language and could not be scanned or read.

    Uninstall Avast AV using the applicable uninstall tool.

    Make sure Microsoft defender is on.

    Confirm computer stability for several days.

    Then reinstall Avast or continue using Microsoft defender

    Your problem is the Avast! security product. All the dumps are identical and in each call stack aswSP.sys is the only third-party driver called...
    Code:

    If we look in more detail at the first aswSP.sys call in frame 0xB (this is a push-down stack, so it's read from the bottom up) we can see the problem...
    Code:
    0: kd> .frame /r b
    0b fffff488`736ad7a8 fffff488`736ae718     aswSP+0x5c054
    rax=fffff488736ad728 rbx=fffff8061c65c054 rcx=0000000000000000
    rdx=fffff488736ae958 rsi=fffff488736aec20 rdi=fffff488736add90
    rip=fffff8061c65c054 rsp=fffff488736ad7a8 rbp=fffff488736ae718
     r8=fffff488736adf50  r9=fffff488736add90 r10=fffff488736aec20
    r11=00000000000000b0 r12=fffff488736addf0 r13=fffff8061c600000
    r14=fffff488736adf50 r15=fffff488736ae718
    iopl=0         nv up ei ng nz na po nc
    cs=0010  ss=0000  ds=002b  es=002b  fs=0053  gs=002b             efl=00000286
    aswSP+0x5c054:
    fffff806`1c65c054 8b6900          mov     ebp,dword ptr [rcx] ds:002b:00000000`00000000=????????
    The aswSP.sys driver is trying to execute a MOV instruction using the RCX register as a pointer, but as you can see the register is all zeros resulting in an invalid memory pointer. This is where the problem started, the rest of the call stack is generating the bugcheck and BSOD.

    All third-party security procuts cause BSODs now and again but, in my experience, Avast! is the worst offender. TBH you don;t need it, Windows Defender and Firewall are all you need, they're all I use.

    To remove Avast! you should use the specialised removal tool at Avast Removal Tool | Download Avast Clear | Avast

    I already removed avast a while ago. I used their cleanup tools to remove any leftover and it fixed the issue... Thank you !
    The only thing now is I don't have windows defender icon.

    Those dumps are from 23rd August 2023 (that's yesterday) and aswSP.sys is definitely installed and is the cause of every BSOD. It does belong to Avast!...
    Code:
    Name: 	aswSP.SYS
    Info: 	
    avast! Self Protection Driver
    Source: 	http://support.avast.com/
    Clearly Avast! has not been fully removed.
