Hey everyone! I've had Windows 8.1 on my SSD for about a few months now and I recently got a BSOD involving the ntoskrnl.exe while playing a game.

Here's my crash dump.

Also please try to help me with as many solutions with this error as possible BEFORE having to result in that Dreaded Driver Verifier. I've tried using that program a few months back and it did nothing but lock my PC on constant BSOD's and I couldn't even turn it off.

I do not like that program at all and I could not even reset the settings because it said none existed.

All help is appreciated and I await your responses! Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
I dont use anything else but defender in Windows 8. Most of the others crash sooner or later. Block something. Or do something stupid.

I'll rather stick with something that hasnt crashed or caused me any probs

If I heard that may be a reason, but... Avast has been a great Anti-Virus. Very light on memory and not intrusive. Would you know any other good anti-viruses if I have to remove it?
