    My laptop is constantly crashing lately. It first started when I would try to run spyware Dr, adware then it started while playing flash games online. I thought maybe it's the motherboard, my laptop kept crashing like this in January I sent it back to HP to have it fixed they replaced the mother board. My laptop also gets extreamly hot 76C. I have burn marks on my legs from it I have since started using AOC external fan (lately it's not helping much) my fans start running really loud and the laptop gets wicked hot. Anyway I decided I wanted to scan my system for viruses etc before I ship this back to HP to have them fix it again. Below is all the steps I have taken as well as log files.

    No malware was found in add/remove

    I Enable viewing of hidden files, system files and file extensions

    I went to HP and dl’d an updated driver. Ran Driver Detective again and the driver still says bad.

    Are Ewido and Spy Sweeper paid versions or free trials. If free trial version, uninstall them and keep Windows Defender. Having all three will put a strain on system resources.

    Your log does not show any malware to be concerned with but you can fix the below line using HijackThis:
    O19 - User stylesheet: (file missing)

    Overheating issues should be addressed in the Hardware Forum.
