    Random freezing/BSOD/resetting


    Okay, so this issue has been plaguing me for over six months and I can't figure out what is wrong. I get random system freezes fairly often, occasionally a BSOD will happen, and rarely my PC will just reset itself without warning. When I do get BSODs, the most common stopcodes are "IRQL not less or equal" or "system service exception." Every once in awhile it's "Kernel security check failure." Exactly one time only I got "Driver overran stack buffer." The most common causes that I've been able to find for this situation is update GPU drivers, reset Windows, and bad RAM. I have run many,

    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 freezes or BSODs (In windows drivers)

    Basically you need to go back to the step described in my post #121

    As the freeze happens when you leave the system idle for a while it is most likely a driver associated with a background process that starts up when the system is idle for while. You might be able to search the event information logs to check which services started around the exact time of the freeze.

    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.
