Recently I've been getting help from Lavasoft Support about various computer issues. I've recently been hacked and thought the hackers were locked out (I now run AVG 8.4, Ad-Aware, HijackThis, etc). However, now, after having used ComboFix to attempt to clean out problems (as recommended by a person on that forum), I'm finding my computer has blue screen issues a lot (those screens covering the whole screen saying Windows has encountered an error, etc).
A recent error message I got on a blue screen was:
STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x806493DC, 0xF78E2090, 0xF78E1D8c)
Any idea what's going on or how I can solve this? I should also state (in case it's relevant) that sometimes I've had the screen freeze upon start up (upon which I restarted the computer, usually causing a blue screen). Also, sometimes while playing Lord of the Rings Online, I get a sound stutter which causes my screen to freeze, and then I restart the computer (this game-related freeze has happened twice so far).
Any help would be appreciated. Also, please do not recommend I just reboot the computer, I've had lots of people saying that, but I'd rather solve these without rebooting, so I can see what the source of the problem is and whether it was hacker-related.
Thanks.
