BSOD constant crashing on Alienware M17xR3 new Win 10 update


Like many others, I am getting BSOD crashes after updating to Windows 10. They are happening constantly and I am getting multiple different error codes.

I have downloaded the DM Log Collector and ran it in safe mode. I am new to this so if I have done anything wrong, please advise.

Thanks in advance, Trevor

PS if more information is required, please let me know.

Anybody?

This looks like a conflict between the Killer network manager and your AV (Avast),

Code:
BugCheck 1E, {ffffffffc0000005, fffff800f13e3f74, fffff8032250bf88, fffff8032250b7a0}  *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bflwfx64.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bflwfx64.sys   CUSTOMER_CRASH_COUNT:  1   DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT   PROCESS_NAME:  AvastSvc.exe
Code:
BugCheck D1, {1, 2, 8, 1}  *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bflwfx64.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bflwfx64.sys  PROCESS_NAME:  AvastSvc.exe   CUSTOMER_CRASH_COUNT:  1   DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID:  WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT   BUGCHECK_STR:  AV
Since removing the network manager will most likely remove the driver, your best bet is removing Avast and run Defender and see if that helps.

Thank you for the reply derekimo,

I have just uninstalled Avast and activated Defender but am still having BSOD problems.

Anything else that I can try?

Thanks

Run the log collector again so we can have a look.

Just ran it again. Here are the files

Still the same driver,

Code:
BugCheck FC, {ffffe000841b5040, 80000001004009e3, ffffd000a6873270, 3}  *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bflwfx64.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bflwfx64.sys Loaded symbol image file: bflwfx64.sys     Image path: SystemRootsystem32DRIVERSflwfx64.sys     Image name: bflwfx64.sys     Timestamp:        Tue Feb 14 11:28:54 2012(4F3AB5F6)     CheckSum:         0001A6A6     ImageSize:        00157000     Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
I don't see an updated driver for that either,

Product Support | Dell US

Try removing this startup program from starting with windows,

Code:
Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager  C:PROGRA~1QUALCO~1KILLER~1KILLER~1.EXE -minimized                            Public
The driver being flagged is the bandwidth monitor driver which is part of the network manager software.

Am I correct in presuming that if I prevent the Killer Network Manager from starting then I will not be able to get online?

*EDIT*

I have disabled Killer Network Manager from opening on startup but still getting the errors

I am now off to the cinema so can not upload another log file until I get back but is there anything else that I can try once I get home?

I really need to get this sorted asI have a short film to edit. Thanks for all of your help.

*ANOTHER EDIT*

Just got in. Here are the new files. Cheers

When you edit a post there is no notification so just make a new post.

Your latest two dumps show the Avast driver,

Code:
BugCheck D1, {ffffffff00000000, 2, 0, fffff801434668d1}  *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswStm.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswStm.sys
Did you reinstall it? Uninstall it using the uninstall tool,

Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal

When deleting the first time, I clicked uninstall Avast in the Avast folder option from the start menu.

I didn't reinstall it, but I am guessing that it did not fully uninstall? Anyway, I have now ran the Avast Uninstall Utility that you linked me to, but am still getting BSOD. Will post the logs again below.

I also just searched for Avast in drive C and got about 40 results. Should I delete everything in the search results?
