  1. Random BSODs on boot


    Good evening everyone.


    When I turn on my computer bought barely a week ago or so, it gives a BSOD which says that a driver signature couldn't be verified or something like that. When I press ENTER, it starts giving random "Missing or corrupt driver" or checksum header thing of different files like "winload.efi", "sacdrv.sys", "iastor", etc. However, I get into a menu of the secure boot thing and press 7 which is start without checking drivers' signature, and it boots up normally.


    I think it mustn't be a physical component problem, because when I log in the system there are no errors and I can even play GTA V normally. There's 0 problems when I'm using it, and no errors are shown neither in SFC or DISM or drive check, but BSODs come in booting. Why is this happening?

    :)

    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.

    Sorry, Bitdefender is a problem: BSOD BAD_POOL_HEADER - mwac.sys - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Help - Malwarebytes Forums

    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.
