BSOD with stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

The past day or two I've started getting random BSOD with the stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. It says the file asmtxhci.sys is what failed. I know that's a file associated with my ASUS USB 3.x driver/s but I haven't been able to solve the issue myself. All my drivers are up to date, and I even tried rolling back the only USB driver I've updated since I got my computer last year with no difference.

It doesn't seem to happen when I do anything in particular. In fact, so far it's only happened when I stepped away from the computer for a few minutes so I've never actually seen it happen. I only come back to find the blue screen.

Here's a photo of the screen I grabbed with my phone: image1.JPG - Google Drive

My DM log is attached.

Hi,

it seems that Avast ist the "main" culprit. Its shown in every bsod dump:

U should remove this first and see how it goes:

Avast

Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal

U also have very old BIOS version:

Code:

BIOS_VERSION:  0703 
BIOS_DATE:  01/27/2016

U should update it from here, there where many improvements made:
