The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    What it means is that afd.sys or something related to it is trying to access memory in an unexpected way.

    a cursory look across the internet seems to indicate this is related to either firewalls or anti-piracy measures and how they interact with that file.

    Are you running a third party firewall?

    Are you running any kind of disk emulation software (daemon-tools, alcohol, etc)>

    Download Who Crashed which will give a much better dump report.

    also when you say it has black lines is it anything like this (below) as thats the graphics card dying.
