Happened for the first time days ago. It only happens on Sign out or shutdown. Then it is very slow booting up. ran sfc /scannow . It could not fix all errors. Ran disk doctor from Avast. it could not find errors. Tried disk imaging.... it stopped at 20%. Ran entire system virus scan, but not a boot time scan. nothing found. No new software was installed. Ran Avast out of date driver, but it crashed when trying to install new drivers.

I am not shutting down puter because I cant be certain it will boot up. (then i will have to use phone to try and follow your directions.) Running slow and start up very slow. Thought about using a restore point, but holding off for now.

Hi KarenQJ,

The dump files collected were bugcheck EF and there were misbehaving Avast drivers.

The Sysnative log collector did not collect event viewer logs.


Please perform the following steps:

1) Uninstall Avast using the applicable uninstall tool:
Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal

2) Make sure Windows defender is on.

3) Open administrative command prompt (ACP) and type or copy and paste:
4) sfc /scannow
5) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
6) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
7) sfc /scannow
8) chkdsk /scan
9) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
10) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
11) wmic recoveros get autoreboot
12) wmic recoveros get DebugInfoType
13) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}
14) findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"
15) copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

16) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

17) Find the new text files on the destop > post a share link using one drive, drop box, or google drive

18) Run the Sysnative log collector to collect new files > upload into the thread

19) Run Crystal Disk standard edition:
CrystalDiskInfo
Post images into the thread.

20) Avast can be reinstalled in 3 days if there are no BSOD or unexpected shutdowns or restarts.

I deleted these two files because the original zip file was 39 mb "Please Note: Zip attachment file size limit = 8 MB. If your zip file exceeds 8 MB in size, you can go into the Sysnative output folder (SysnativeFileCollectionApp) in your Documents folder and delete the two Event Viewer Log files (EvtxAppDump.txt and EvtxSysDump.txt), which should be the largest files in the folder. ...."

(I also forgot to say that the zip file above was a 2nd attempt at running your program, not the first; the first one stalled and I had to hit the kill switch)


I won't be doing anything before Thursday.... I have to backup photos from my hd before I shut down again...
 
I'm working on it. The scan health function has been running for 45 minutes and this is all it shows so far. I'll give it another hour or so...

Will post tomorrow. Been at this most of the day .....


I did shut down, and it installed a critical update automatically.
It did restart, with BSOD, however, my SD card drive has disappeared and is not functioning..... and screens are still loading and responding very slow.

For any BSOD:

a) run the Sysnative log collector to collect new log files

b) open file explorer> this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
> if the file size is < 1.5 GB then zip > post a separate share link into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive




For the earlier scannow search for: CbsPersist*
Post a share link for the recent file results.


Run HD Tune (free version) (all drives)
HD Tune website
Post images into the thread for results on these tabs:
a) Health
b) Benchmark
c) Full error scan


These steps / tests can be performed overnight:
a) Sea Tools for Windows long generic test
b) HD Tune full error scan
