EEK FRST Scan Reports following System Lockups

[DRM 0]

My HP Pavillion dv7-7135us has been freezing up lately with no warning and no visible symptoms other than I return to it after a few hours and find it frozen.  The only remedy is to power down.

EEK and FRST files are attached.

 

I tried to scrupulously follow the instructions. EEK did not display the same choices as the instructions, but I tried to get a clean scan, without changing any parameters after the sw updated itself. 

FRST showed no anomalies on operation.

DRM,

Please update EEK.  The scan report indicates that no update was conducted.  Therefore the scan results are not reliable.

Once EEK is finished updating, run a Malware Scan.  Attach the new EEK scan report to your reply.

Thank you, Mr. Zoll.

 

   Ran it just now.  EEK said it was updated, and I ran the Malware scan, per the instructions. 

   It did not offer me the chance to make sure PUPs was checked.

   Results attached.  It only found one infection, versus 4 or 5 last time.

Please run FRST again. Next, select and copy the following text, including the words Start:: and End::. Switch back to the FRST program window, and click the Fix button. It should read the fix directly from the clipboard and run the fix. When it is finished, please attach the fixlog.txt file it created in the same folder the FRST program is in.

Run a fresh scan with FRST, make sure that Addtions.txt is selected.  Attach the new FRSTscan reports to your reply.

Done again.

File attached.

 

Addition.txt

[Kevin Zoll 276]

The Additons.txt looks fine.  Can I get the FRST.txt report as well?

[DRM 0]

Ask, and ye shall receive .

[Kevin Zoll 276]

Your logs look fine.

How are things running?

[DRM 0]

It froze yesterday, and I rebooted it this morning (I left it frozen overnight), but it seems better today.

Did you find anything that could be related to my freezing problem?

[Kevin Zoll 276]

As far as I can tell from looking at the Events log in the Additions.txt, it appears to be your display drivers that are at fault.  Update the drivers for your graphics card.
