So i'm assuming it's a driver problem with rdummy.sys caused by my antivirus (avast). Is there any way to fix this? Thanks :D.
 
I use avast version 7 and I don't have a rdummy.sys file. Are you sure it's an avast file and not some malware? Also, does it give the same error every time? The error reads like an access violation, which is due to bad programming, not the system it self.

It could also be a memory problem. Try running a few passes of memtest86+ and see what turns up.

Yeah, mine's version 7, i tried memtest ages ago and that wasn't the problem, i'll try a full system scan and see if i find anything
