A few times today when I've awoken my computer from sleeping, I've received a blue screen. My computer automatically restarts itself and asks whether or not to start Windows normally, which I do, and when I finally log on, I receive this message:

My computer is about two months old and here are the specs:
Dell Studio 15 Notebook
OS: Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 (2.66GHz/1066Mhz FSB/6MB cache)
Memory: 6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800 MHz

Today, (25 August 2009) I installed the updates for Avast, and this only started happening after I installed the updates. Could the problem have anything to do with any of the recent updates from Avast?

What should I do? I'm a beginner, give me specific instructions!
Thanks!

Without looking for your error in specific you may have failing ram.
Its fairly common on many of the dell notebooks

hit the power button
start tapping f12 light and fast
a menu will appear
Choose diagnostics..i dont remember the exact wording off the top of my head
Run the diagnostics...it will check for failing ram

Also with vista in the event of errors always check the ram as it can simulate many problems...
Example the ram was failing on my dell1525
My virus protection would shut down
I would get a firewall warning
i would get pop ups that services was shutting down.
I reformatted...3 days later the same thing
so i reformatted again..3 days later the same thing.
then i started to get blue screens after the errors.
I ran diagnostics....and ram was bad
