    Short catch up:
    m4 SSD installed 128 gbs, and 12 gb 1600 mhz ram installed.

    Previously I was having a blue screen error when i connected via wifi and then my computer would promptly restart. I decided to uninstall Mcaffee to see if it was the problem and it was. No problems/BSOD for over a week. Then i take my computer out of sleep mode and then about 5-10 minutes later I get this:

    What is this? I've been reading that online that many people say it has to do with your anti-virus and if thats the case I'm using Webroot SEcure Anywhere as my virus protection.

    Is it possible that this is a driver problem? Hardware problem? This computer is only 3 weeks old now and honestly I've had more problems with this computer then i've ever had with my 3 year old dell desktop, its really dishearting.
