BSOD and Bad Performance

[Innocence.]

Nope, it's actually more commonly caused by driver and RAM issues.

If you require help with a BSOD you should do the following...

1. Locate your Minidumps folder:

• This is usually placed in C:\Windows\Minidump\. Navigate to that location and copy all of the files over into a folder on your desktop and preferrably compress them into an archive before uploading to a file host.

2. Provide your crash dumps in the next post with the download link to the .dmp files

• I will review/debug the crash dump to more accurately verify the cause of this BSOD.
  
• Note: Further instructions will be given after I have reviewed the crash dump, be patient, and don't do ANYTHING while i'm in the review process as solving BSOD's requires patience, and a logical order of operations. If you do anything that I have not asked you to do, you are only puting your own system at risk, because now you're just on your own doing trial and error.

Yes, but infections tend to cause those issues. Your logic is right, but not completely ;)
