Hmm? Updates: I've managed to avoid the BSOD within a 24 hour time period, but can't break past the 48 hour marker. Event Viewer now indicates an 'Iastor.sys' error that seems to be related to several other Dell users BSOD. Though its curious I would only start suffering from it after getting ASC (I've had this system since 06'). Plus I also get a Microsoft Fax error that comes up, but I don't think that's triggering my BSOD. I'll post another update if I make any progress on this, or when I hit a brick wall and have nothing left to do... Regards, -1111

Update: Thanks again, Though I (or anyone), hardly needs the political pep talking. I've had some progress with your help. Apparently their is a conflict with Windows Defender, specifically when the updater runs. So I disabled it, and it didn't crash last night. So if it can run another 24 hours, I should have resolved the issue. And I guess I don't need windows defender, since I have Norton, Spybot, Malware Bytes, etc. However, after searching your forums I couldn't find anyone that had posted a similar problem. I find it hard to believe that this is a new problem... Oh and thanks for going out of your way to quote what you were talking about in your previous post. And sorry about the fanboy remark above.

Thanks Enoskype, For your time and help, but my problem persists. I'd already ran through the microsoft link you provided, but with no positive results. The second link you posted with specific posts is a bit helpful, its got me going in a different direction at least. Which is better than the dead ends I was beginning to face. I also thank you for your answer to my question, though it is rather disappointing that ASC would prefer to sabotage my system settings through an update rather than restore them automatically. As for using microsofts system restore; I have little faith in it, it never has served its namesake. I took your advise and skimmed through the IObits Usage Thread, but its huge and I don't know exactly what I'm suppose to be seeing. As for your warning about not using the 'Care' button, I wasn't aware it was a button until you said it! I also didn't see any mention of it in the thread you referenced it too. But I will avoid it, like I plan on avoiding IObits products in the future. This seemed like a good product and it does seem to work well on my friend's computer. Perhaps I'll give IObits another chance in the future, but for now I'm only concerned with repairing the damage its done to my computer. Thanks Again, -1111

Blue Screen of Death Hello, After installing ASC3, I started getting the dreaded blue screen of death. From what I can tell, it maybe related to an audio issue with my creative drives or perhaps registry. Since I get errors sometimes now that pop up when I start up the system. Though I have no problem running audio or video, so strange. Interestingly enough, I also only get the blue screen of death when the computer is not in use. So it usually happens when I'm sleeping at night, but sometimes during the day too just as long as nothing is happening on it program wise. I usually get the Kernel Stack Error, 0x0000000077, but today had a 0x00000000F4. I've searched these forums as well as else where on the net and couldn't find anything to help me. BTW I'm using the free version of ASC. I also had a question about uninstalling for an update, when you uninstall and re-install to get an updated version does it automatically restore your system settings or was that something I should have done manually before losing my original system settings? If so, then would it be pointless to restore with my updated version since it wouldn't hold the original creation point of this program? Thanks in Advance, -1111
