Blue Screen of Death on Win10
Good morning.
Apologies for the very vague question. We are running Dropbox on 2 Win10 PCs. One runs absolutely fine but, on the other, it will run for maybe 30 seconds and then cause the PC to c...

Hey everyone, we have a little update to share with you all!
We've been in contact with Symantec and they've let us know that there is an update which should resolve the BSoD. This would be version 15.1 MP1 (Maintenance Patch 1) for the Endpoint Protection Client.
ScubaStephen and gojanpaolo, along with anyone else who may be running an older version of Symantec, please try updating to see if this does the trick for you.
If you still get the BSoD with the updated version of Symantec, then please reach out to them directly for their support for resolution.
Keep us posted with your results!

Hi Daphne,
I'm also experiencing the same issue, on my work laptop (ThinkPad X260).
The SEP on my laptop is 14.2, but that's managed through Corporate IT and I cannot update it manually. Is there a workaround to this issue? I have an open ticket with your Support team, ending ####5201.
Thanks,
Dvir.

What if your issue is with a antivirus that isnt symantec? (McAaffe here)
- Daphne5 years agoDropbox Staff
Hey PeterDBU!
I'm sorry to hear that updating the antivirus you mentioned in your previous post ended up not working out.
If the issue is only persisting while McAffe is running on your computer, then I'd suggest letting the specialist you're in contact with know.
Can you reply back to their last email and let them know that the issue is still occurring and your trouble with adjusting the settings of McAffe?
If you no longer have their email to reply to, let me know and I can create a new ticket for you.
Thanks!

Hello--
I currently get a Blue Screen of Death error with the code KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION. Dropbox was working fine until about a week ago when it stated that it was processing an update. After it completed it began giving this error about 30 seconds to 1 minute after running. Whenever Dropbox starts after a restart, shortly after it will do it again. If I close the Dropbox process before it can do it or stop it from starting with Windows it won't do it. I am currently running version 89.4.278 and I recently uninstalled it then reinstalled it completely.
When I did the uninstall and reinstall, it did not crash right away, it began to sync for a bit and lasted about 30 minutes then it crashed.
I am running Windows Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362 on a Dell Precision 3541 x64-based PC. I've recently updated my BIOS tot eh latest version as well hoping that this could help fix the issue.
I also have Symantec Endpoint Protection Client (Version 14 (14.2 RU1) build 3332 (14.2.3332.1000)) and DLP Endpoint Agent (Version 15.5.0107.01001) which cannot be uninstalled from the machine. This is my corporate computer so it cannot be removed.
Please feel free to open a ticket on my behalf so I can get this resolved as my Dropbox is not usable at all and I really need it working as soon as possible. I appreciate your help.

Hi tblewis0, thanks for joining the discussion!
If you haven't already, can you please check the "accepted solution" here for our latest update on this?
If possible, please update to the 15.1 MP version of Symantec Endpoint Protection as this should resolve the issue with the BSoD.
Should the issue persists when you have this version installed, then you would need to reach out to Symantec for further assistance I'm afraid.
Let me know if this helps!

Anyone got Dropbox working again?
If so what worked?
- EdL5 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Not me. I am in the process of moving everything over to Box. A shame, because I found DropBox so useful and intuitive for so long. But it is crashing 2 of my 3 machines and I can't be without them.
