    Hi Bhupesh

    I doubt your system is infected, the symptoms do not indicate that, when your Desktop disappeared, that is just Explorer crashing, which may indicate a corrupt system . . .

    Also, MalwareBytes is very good, but I do not recommend HitMan Pro

    Weird thing happened today since I was not able to go to the service center I thought of doing different things to make my laptop work so I found out that holding power button for 15 does a software batter reset in my laptop so I did that and let my laptop off for 1 hour then I started it and started playing games the laptop didn't crash for 4 hours after that I quit the game and started watching YouTube and reddit on chrome and after 5 mins I get a bsod unexpected store exception screen was struck at 0% for few seconds and laptop rebooted completely fine automatically so I started YouTube and reddit again on chrome then after a min the laptop became unresponsive and started strutering very bad chrome got closed by itself and I was on my desktop screen then all of a sudden my wallpaper disappeared and all the icons and shortcuts also disappeared and a error window popped up saying "svchost.exe application error" and the laptop stoped responding completely I was only able to move my mouse I got scared and turned it off by holding the power button , I waited for a few seconds and tried starting it but it showed no bootable device again so I waited and went through reddit to see what's happening they were talking about some virus so after 5 mins I started my laptop it started completely fine and I downloaded Malwarebytes and hitman pro and ran scans and these softwares didn't find anything then I ran sfc /scannow it also didn't find anything then I went on going through YouTube for couple of minutes and shut it down. I don't know what's happening now. I think this might help you narrowing down on my problem in someway.

    Hi Bhupesh

    If you are only getting the BSOD's after updating your BIOS, most manufacturers allow you to install the older version on top of the new version to roll the BIOS version back, have you checked if that is possible on your system?
