Without antivirus protection, I remain stable and don’t encounter crashes.
I've been experiencing blue screens lately. I checked a forum suggesting removing the antivirus for better performance. I uninstalled Avast and installed AVG, but still faced BSODs. Now I'm curious what would happen without any protection at all. My PC runs smoothly otherwise—though I hate seeing it crash during games like CS:GO. I have Malwarebytes on my system and wondered if a conflict might be the cause. Anyone else encounter this issue? It's really odd. Notes: I get BSODs with Avast, AVG, and even Windows Defender. I'm not using any antivirus now, just hoping it helps.
Windows Defender performs well based on my experience, and using Malwarebytes adds an extra layer of protection.
I could easily suggest Bitdefender too! However, sometimes they seem identical, which means most free antivirus solutions tend to match in performance.
You might experience a BSOD due to various reasons, especially since you're running two antivirus programs. It's possible the issue isn't related to them. I recommend checking the Windows Event Viewer to identify the problem.
Hello, please let me know where to check in the event viewer to find the issue. This program is new to me...
I've encountered this frequently in the logs: a critical alert was triggered and dispatched to the remote server. This could lead to disconnection. The TLS protocol specifies a fatal error code of 10, and the Windows SChannel status also reflects code 10.
I don't have much experience with error codes, but I recall using a tool named "WhoCrashed" that provides clear details about crashes. If you're interested, I can share the installer with you.
