    Random BSODs, Again/Still...


    I've been getting seemingly random BSODs again. I've been struggling with them ever since I "upgraded" to Windows 10 via a new copy installing over my old Windows 7. I came here seeking help months ago see the link at the bottom of this post, and for a while it seemed the suggested action of rolling back my video drivers seemed to fix it. Over the last month or two at least, however, I've been getting them again. In the past week I've had three BSODs.


    I looked to see if I could roll back my video driver again, but it didn't let me; apparently it was still rolled back and I couldn't do it again. So I updated it instead. That obviously didn't help. I've updated Windows, as well. As before, the error messages aren't the same every time; it varies between "system thread exception", "system service exception", and occasionally "clock watchdog timeout" these are from my memory so the actual error codes may differ slightly from what I have written here.


    I am, once again, at a loss. Windows 10 has been way more trouble than it seems to be worth, so far.


    As a few final notes on the issue, it does seem to only happen when I'm giving some kind of input clicking, especially or interacting with things in a program namely, games. I play games a lot so I think it has only happened while playing, recently though it has happened outside of gaming at least once when I had the issue previously. So it's hard to tell exactly what is causing it. It could be the graphics, I suppose. Or something with the memory, or input, or who knows?


    Here are the dump files in my minidump folder, hopefully they will be helpful in diagnosing my problem: minidump


    And here is a link to my previous thread about this problem, for reference: persistent BSODs


    I really hope someone can help me here, it's driving me nuts.

    :)

    Random BSOD while browsing internet


    BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
    A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
    In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

    The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
    As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
    That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

    Random BSODs "Bad_Pool_Caller"


    This BSOD happens anywhere, irrespective of BitDefender. It takes place even when the antivirus is MSE in case of Windows 7. The most common cause is an expired trial or a cracked installation. Some examples:

    We are on our way of troubleshooting. If the uninstallation and reinstallation does not work, we will take the next step.

    I, in general, know what I am doing and what I am suggesting. If I feel that I am unable to control the issue, I will definitely ask for help.
