BSOD Random & Recurring Using Utorrent Wmp Classic Or Several Programs
Jul 24, 2012
I'm getting BSOD somewhat randomly and frequently. It always seems to happen when I'm running UTorrent and Windows Media Player Classic or several programs at one time. I built my PC so I know it will have more stability issues than a typical PC but I get BSOD more frequently than I should. Frequently the driver at fault is ntoskrnl.exe, tcpip.sys, or ntfs.sys.
I have been running xp 32 and 64 bit on my desktop for a few years now. I installed Windows 7 64-bit in November and found that I was constantly getting BSODs randomly. Recently, I installed a new video card, (HIS) ATI HD5770, which didn't change the situation except for the fact that my BSOD screen no longer is a blue screen with all those numbers and words. Now, it just looks like white noise on a tv screen. I found that I always trigger a BSOD if I do anything while using utorrent, such as browsing the Internet. But, I do sometimes get bsods for no reason that I cant pinpoint.
I have a Q6600 processor with 2gb ram and an ati hd5770 video card. My motherboard is an xfx nforce 680i lt. I've been reading up on forums and apparently I'm supposed to make some sort of a dump file and post it here so that you guys can help me better, but I cant figure out how to do it.
I have been having the aforementioned BSOD's for a few months now and have simply put up with them since they were only happening twice a day. I have finally decided to try and fix them so I came here. I had always thought that the ATI drivers were always the problem (or at least part of it) since I used to have a lot of trouble even updating them and I used to get BSOD's during heavy gpu load (rift on max settings with crossfire on). My computer has since started crashing on the desktop sometimes so I'm not sure what it is. I had a look at the perfmon report and noticed an issue with logmein. I have no idea why it's there as I uninstalled it quite some time ago? I do have anti-virus installed (Kaspersky internet security). The UAC being off is self-explanatory. The perfmon report also says that WWAN autoconfig was stopped abnormally. I don't know if it is caused by the changes I made to the registry to kill processes faster due to an abnormally long shutdown time I had? I have done things like give myself ownership of all the files on the entire computer so I can add/change stuff in the windows folder and it is possible (but very unlikely) that I may have affected something. I also made an attempt to manually remove ATI driver registry entries at one point due to problems.
My 2 year old HP DV3610ae Laptop keeps giving me a BSOD. It's a Core2Duo T6400 2.0 Ghz with 4Gb DDR2 Ram. Usually its a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but I have seen other errors and some times it just restarts without BSOD and no memorydump is then generated. It is usually just after login, but lately the BSOD is coming within the first half hour. I have done a clean install with Windows 7 Enterprise and the problem is still there.
I have done memtest and prime95 for several hours with no problem in fail safe mode. Also no problem with chkdsk. Fail safe mode never crashes, only normal login. Have removed DVD drive. Still BSOD. There is no new hardware installed. Have had "gcswf32.dll stopped working" fault in safemode and normal mode when running chrome browser. Only windows defender and firewall is installed.
Some programs on my desktop like uTorrent have disappeared. i mean the label is there but the logo/icon picture is gone. it comes back randomly and then goes again. same when im in explorer.
ive googled around, and tried deleting iconcahce>doesnt work ive tried right click and making sure show desktop icon is checked
I'm running a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an Asus K53 and I constantly get BSoD when I'm trying to download with uTorrent. I've attached the dump files.
while downloading files using utorrent, i got BSOD, then automatically restarted:3 tries after that with the same BSOD..i followed this thread and downloaded Windows 7 SDK, then i opened the dump files and found the line "Probably caused by : NETIO.SYS ( NETIO!RtlCopyBufferToMdl+1d )"and now i have no idea what to do with this info and how to fix the problem ( or even what exactly the problem is..),i added the 3 dump files (Minidump.rar), please would you tell me what is the problem and how do i fix it ?i've been very specific about my system information, specially about the details of my network cards
I seem to be getting BSODs when running uTorrent. This has only started recently. Usually this is when i leave it on schedule mode, set to download overnight. Today I have tested and found that with schedule turned off and uTorrent running, BSODs still occur. I cannot be sure it is uTorrent, but it seems to only happen when it's open and downloading. I am currently running dskchk for bad sectors but as this is a second HDD supplied by the laptop maker. OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I have updated uTorrent in the recent weeks/FONT]
So my system have BSOD'd 5 times today, after reformatting it last month due to multiple BSODing of the same nature. After examining what I've been doing on my system today, it appears that uTorrent may be the culprit, as it only seems to be happening when the application is open. This could be a coincidence though as the blue screens seems to happen sporadically.This is the error that pops up after I reboot.

Recently I installed the new Windows 7 Ultimate x64 to my computer and since then I'm having the same problem.Every time I try to download something via utorrent or bit torrent I get a BSOD with the indication ''driver not less or equal''.I have a TP-LINK Gigabit PCI Network Adapter (Model no.TG-3269).
I was on my computer just using it and I opened up utorrent and suddenly i get the BSOD I'm currently in Safe mode ATM and Dump files & older folders attached below also a reference to this post which i posted yesterday,Performance scan or whatever kept freezing so didn't let me do that.
Getting a BSOD if I try to torrent something and do something else. If I leave it running on it's own, it can usually complete, unless I am downloading several torrents, then it will crash no matter what. It seems to point to Netio.sys and there is also a driver_irql_not_less_than_equal error. Please let me know what I should do.
I've been getting a series of BSODs on my laptop recently. It appears they only occur while uTorrent is running - which is rather puzzling seeing how I've used it for months without issues and I have made no changes to it recently (it also takes some time after the start of the program for Windows to crash, so I'm not entirely sure uTorrent is really the culprit.)Incidentally I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my 1.5 years old laptop. Windows came preinstalled and has been reinstalled by the Sony support less than 5 months ago (together with a new HD and motherboard)[CODE]
I have experience 2 BSOD in a day. I have followed the instruction to generate the report and attached to this post.
My notebook ASUS U36 spec is as follow Window 7 Home Premium 64bit Original installed version, OEM
Use the notebook for about 9months. OS also has been used for 9months. I reformatted it once using the recovery disc the moment I got my hand on the set.
Been having some crashes.At first they occurred on start up. Claiming the computer wasn't properly shut down. Now today, the other crashes started, with the first happening out of nowhere, the second happening upon starting a video game. I've been without crashes for a while now, only having used my browser(Opera) and copying some files to an external hard drive. As well as the SF tool.I only have 2 dump files available. SF tool file should be in attachments, unless I made a mistake somewhere
I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

- the original installed OS on the system? this is a built computer by myself. have had 64 bit forever on here
- an OEM or full retail version? oem
- What is the age of system (hardware)? memory is about 2 years old everything else is about 5 years old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) os was installed a few months ago.attached is the info that was requested. these blue screens happen at completely random times. could be during boot up. could be just sitting in sleep and blue screen.
A couple weeks ago I started having random BSOD and restarts, I have researched several different solutions to no avail. At one point, I thought the problem was solved after restoring a restore point, however, the dreaded BSOD is back after a couple of days.
- Restored the earliest restore point - Ran chkdsk with no errors - Ran full scan AV (just in case) using MSSE. - Updated all Windows and drivers updates.
I believe this is related to a driver issue, however, I'm not sure which one.Attached is both the BSOD App and System Health data.
Basic specs:
- Windows 7 x64 - Original Install - OEM - System age: 6 months - OS install age: 6 months (not reinstalled)
This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.
I never used it heavily at the start and assumed it was just a driver and that i'd figure it out later.Well; now is later and I can't figure it out.I've done a re-install of the OS (HP recovery)This system is about a year old and is an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with AMD Phenom II N850 Triple Core @2.2 ghz 6 gig memory 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
Recently my Windows 7 machine has decided that it will only play audio from Windows (bongs etc), WinAMP and Skype - That's it, nothing else. I get no audio from FireFox, while playing Minecraft or Grand Theft Auto IV.
Below is some screenshots of various sound management area's and explanations of various things in the image:
This image shows the two volume controls I get after clicking the volume control icon on the notification tray. The left slider is titled "Digital Output (4- USB Multi-Channel Audio Device)" and the right slider is titled "Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)".
This image shows that "Realtek High Definition Audio" is not actually running. The fourth icon is the driver software used with the USB sounds card I am using.
This image shows the driver software used with the USB sounds card I am using. This image shows the volume mixer for the first slider. The left icon is titled "Digital Output (4- USB Multi-Channel Audio Device)".
This image shows the volume mixer for the second slider. This image shows the contents of the drop down list in the first volume mixer. The second volume mixer has the same drop down menu.
Edit 1: I am now seeing this volume mixer. * Denotes a bong noise being played when the slider is clicked on.
Managed to break my PC again in my usual form. So I recently bought a new SSD and did a fresh installation of Windows 7 on it. Everything boots fine - until I get nitpicky about the boot times and start changing some settings in the BIOS. To give some background, I was initially trying to resolve a problem with slow boot times on my GIGABYTE P55A-UDL3. There is a 10sec delay after the "Loading Operating System" message. Windows splash screen onwards only takes 5 secs. I read somewhere that this had to do with having the CD-Rom as the first boot device. (Don't even want to get started on the AHCI BIOS itself already adding another 2-3secs) Anyway, if I recall correctly I did some (supposedly harmless stuff like) moving my SSD to the #1 priority in the BIOS list and also set Hard Disk as the first (and only) Boot Device. Boom. BOOTMGR is Missing.
Occasionally when a program crashes the last sound playing, whether it be part of a sound effect in a game, a small part of a film from a media player, or even a standard windows sound effect, will recur endlessly after the program has been closed until the computer is restarted. The sound is not displayed on the windows mixer, although it displays clearly on my dedicated sound card's audio levels display.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling the relevant sound devices, switching between onboard audio and dedicated audio, and attempting to restart the windows sound services, however I have found nothing aside from a restart that will actually rid me of the recurring sound (things such as entering/exiting sleep mode do not help, I have not tried to hibernate the computer, but if I'm going to do that I might aswell just restart properly).
For the past few months now my computer has been running very slowly, with programs constantly crashing and at least 3 times a day I get a BSOD, sometimes more.The blue screens always either read Memory_Management or Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area,and bluescreenview says that ntoskrnl.exe is the culprit.I have no idea how to read these logs andBesides the BSODS, the computer just isn't performing as well as it should.Applications always stop working, pages in chrome randomly crash and where I used to be able to get 60+ FPS in games, I now barely manage 40-50. For some reason I am also unable to complete a windows update.
I recently purchased a new OCZ 64GB SSD to install Windows 7 64 bit on. I have a separate 500 GB HDD for storage, but I completely disconnect this drive when doing my install because the Windows 7 install disk will not recognize my SSD if it's not the only drive plugged in.
After installing Windows everything works fine for a time. I am able to reboot multiple times during the windows update process (btw this is a possible culprit for the issue that is occuring) up until the first 5 security updates for Sevice Pack 1. After installing these updates and shutting down my PC will not boot up and I get the bootmgr is missing error. I have at this point hooked my HDD back up, but it is well after my Windows install has finished, so there doesn't seem to be any way that Windows is writing the bootmgr file to my HDD because I have booted up multiple times with neither the windows install disk in the dvd drive nor the HDD plugged in.
I'm trying to figure out if something's wrong with my SSD or if there's some update in Windows 7 sevice pack 1 that is incompatible with my hardware.
I am a desktop support tech and one of my users is having a problem where they will accept an invitation to a recurring meeting and either the meeting will not appear on their calendar or the first meeting will show up as accepted and all the other meetings in the series will be shown as tentative. I have looked high and low on the internet yet have found nothing to help, i am open to any and all suggestions and ideas, or if some one knows what is causing this a solution.
I have had my HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC (with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1) for less than a year and I am encountering a ton of problems.Whenever I go to open a program, it unresponds for a short while before I can continue to use it.Sometimes my keyboard acts up, for e.g. if I were to press T whilst in an internet browser, it would open a new tab, as if I was pressing the CTRL button when I'm not.Sometimes my laptop shuts down - sometimes there is a blue screen error message before, other times it just shuts down without one.I have Trend Micro Tiatanium anti-virus protection and have done scans and nothing has showed up.
So I do have a OC, but it was stable (Intel Burn Test, Prime95). I was playing the Binding of Isaac (flash game on steam). What is most likely the cause here?
