The driver responsible for crashing your system is probably part of GMER, it usually runs from the following Temp folder. C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Local\Temp\kfldiuod.sys Up to now all of the logs i`ve seen do not show any signs of malware or infection, GMER can be a difficult to run for many different reasons. An active Firewall, active anti-virus programs, other security, CD emulators, sandboxes,.. As it seems GMER will not run and you still believe your system has been compromised try the following ESET scanner, this scanner is very thorough so may take several hours depending on system size, amount of data etc.. Go here and click 'SCAN NOW' under 'ESET Online Scanner' save to your Desktop. You will be prompted to download and install esetonlinescanner_enu.exe. Click on the link and save the file to a convenient location. Double-click on esetonlinescanner_enu.exe to install and a new window will open. Follow the prompts. Turn off the real-time scanner of any existing antivirus program before performing the online scan. Here's how At the bottom of the Terms of use window, tick the option Download latest version of ESET Online Scanner then click Accept When/if prompted by UAC, 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC?', please choose Yes Tick the option Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications Click on Advanced settings Make sure that the option Clean threats automatically is unticked. Ensure these options are ticked: Enable detection of potentially unsafe applications Enable detection of suspicious applications Scan archives Enable Anti-Stealth technology Click Scan Wait for the scan to finish. When the scan is done, if it shows a screen that says Threats found, click Save to text file... then name it and save it to your desktop. Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined. Please copy/paste the contents of the log in your next reply. To close ESET Online Scanner, select Do not clean then Finish Thank you, Kevin
