When my laptop boots, but it won't stay up for long before it gets a serious error and reboots. I suspect a virus but the system won't stay up long enough to run any scans. I get the blue screen of death followed by this message:

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\hp\drivers\hplsbwatcher\lsburnwatcher.exe
File: C:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7\atlmfc\include\atlfile.h
Line: 188

Expression: m-h !=0

(Press Retry to debug the application)

Please help. Thanks.

I got it to stay up long enough to run HijackThis...

Issue has been resolved...It turns out that Norton and eTrust firewall software conflicts was causing the problem. Removed Norton and the problem went away... Funny isn't it that software that was suppose to prevent problems caused a problem.

Glad you got it resolved anyway. Yes, running two software firewalls at once isn't advised as conflicts can occur.

Since your issues seem resolved I'll go ahead and archive this topic in the "Resolved" section (read only)

If you should have any further issues, please feel free to post a new topic.
