[Guide to Fix] Aswrvrt.sys (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\aswrvrt.sys) Causes BSoD and No Boot

 

 

 

 

What Is Aswrvrt.sys?

Its suffix “sys” could help us ascertain that aswrvrt.sys is a system file in the first place, and thus it is not virus as what most victims thought it is due to the problems incurred thereby as listed in the next section. To be more specific, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\aswrvrt.sys is a PE32 executable for MS Windows (native) Intel 80386 32-bit.

Aswrvrt.sys Problems

1. BSoD with error code 0x00000000ed.
2. Computer won’t boot and stuck at aswrvrt.sys.
3. No access to c: drive
4. Less options when access Windows Advanced Options windows via F8 functional key.

Causes of Aswrvrt.sys Problems

Based on rich experience in computer industry, the causes of aswrvrt.sys problems are mainly related to hard drive issues.

BSoD – there are many causes to result in Blue Screen of Death, such as poor contact with hardware, sudden power lost, damages in sectors, bugs on disks, no use of data line that meets hard drive transmission specifications and the like; but to 0x00000000ed BSoD, it could be I/0 subsystem’s failure in loading boot volume.

Other dysfunction – recently installed programs might be the main cause. This can be either simply caused by conflict among installed programs or by DOS Trojan horse affection.

Suspects:

1. Survey made by a recommended PC Security Center shows that only PC users having Avast installed encounter Aswrvrt.sys (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\aswrvrt.sys) problem.
2. Aswrvrt.sy problem occurs after updating Avast.

It could be that some renewed configurations for Avast have produced some adverse reactions to the current OS. In such case, I would like to suggest replacing Avast with other reputable anti-virus programs like Malwarebyte, Norton, MSE, etc. after fixing the aswRvrt.sys problem with the below instruction.
