Two issues. Your rtwlane.sys Realtek driver for your Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC, and ESET.

I would re-install the Realtek driver with the newest available and remove and replace ESET with MSE (at least to test)

Should be run in safemode.

Thanks so much, I really need to learn how to read those things, one slight issue though, I don't have or use ESET never did, could it be Avast? is it the same type of thing?

THanks Again

Yes, avast! may be causing problems. See if the system is more stable with Microsoft Security Essentials and with more up to date network drivers.

To remove avast!: Avast Uninstall Utility.


Also, what USB devices are you using? One of the crashes may have been USB related.



Another crash was due to your Intel display drivers or DirectX. DirectX comes installed with Windows, so this may indicate Windows corruption. It may also be that you have corrupted drivers or a graphics card hardware problem.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• Run a system file check to check Windows for corruption:
  1. Click Start Menu
  2. Click All Programs
  3. Click Accessories
  4. Right click Command Prompt
  5. Click Run as administrator
  6. Type

     sfc /scannow

     and press Enter
  7. Once it is complete, make note of the message. If it says Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations., restart your computer and post back
  8. If the message does not say Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations., restart your computer and do steps 1-6 again.
  9. You may need to do steps 1-6 up to three times with a restart in between each run to resolve all corrupted files.
  10. If you still have corrupted files after a fourth run, post back here with the following:
      • Click Start Menu
      • Click Computer
      • Open your C: drive
      • Open Windows
      • Open Logs
      • Open CBS
      • Copy and paste CBS.log or CBS (it may not have the log extension) to a location you will remember.
      • Compress (zip) the CBS file and attach the .zip file to your next post.

Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.

1. Download the drivers you want for your display card(s)
2. Click Start Menu
3. Click Control Panel
4. Click Uninstall a program
5. For Intel:
   • Uninstall Intel Graphics software if it is listed (this should remove all Intel graphics software and drivers)
   • If Intel Graphics software is not listed, use the following method to uninstall the graphics drivers:
     1. Click Start Menu
     2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
     3. Click Manage
     4. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
     5. Expand Display adapters
     6. Do the following for each adapter (in case you have multiple display cards)
        • Right click the adapter
        • Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
        • Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device (if this option is available, otherwise just hit OK) and hit OK
     Alternatively:
     1. Login as an adminstrative user
     2. Click Start Menu
     3. Click Control Panel
     4. Click Hardware and Sound
     5. Click Device Manager (the last link under Devices and Printers)
     6. Expand Display adapters
     7. Do the following for each adapter (in case you have multiple display cards)
        • Right click the adapter
        • Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
        • Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device (if this option is available, otherwise just hit OK) and hit OK
6. Restart your computer after uninstalling drivers for all display cards
7. Install the driver you selected for the display cards once Windows starts

Remember to try multiple versions of the graphics drivers, download them fresh, and install the freshly downloaded drivers.
