Well, so far everything works perfect.

Hi, this crash is hapenning the last few days. I don't have anything new on my hardware except a CPU fan which is working fine (rpm are stable, CPU temperature is normal and stable). I am using widnows 7 ultimate x64, Avast Internet Security, running on i3 2100 3.10GHz and all my drivers are updated according to Live Update 6. I ran my adwcleaner a few minutes ago but I got another crash a few minutes after (and now I don't seem to be able to install rome total war but that's for another time). I have never had this problem ever before.

2017-03-18T13:59:55+00:00 Recently (one week ago) had to replace my hard drive due to FAT issues. Everything has worked fine, but today after booting up and going to settings I got this same error (reference by pointer). Rebooted and all seems to be working well; however, as I read thru this thread there are so many directions and phrases that are absolutely a foreign language to me.
My questions
Is this error common?
What does it mean in layman's terms (without all the tech language) ?
Is this error fatal ?
Do I need to get my computer tech guru (who is on speed dial) to work his magic?(because even though in a past career I was a computer programmer, I am not a tech person!)
