BSOD suddenly happening on Win 7

[Paul D]

I have suddenly begun to get the BSOD. It happens multiple times a day at random times. It makes no difference what I am doing at the time.

Here's my system stats:

Gateway Pentium D Dual Processor 2.8GHZ
4GB of RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Service Pack 1

I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 yesterday

I've been unable to read the dump files and hoped someone would be able to help me figure out what is causing the issue. I have attached the last 5 dumps.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've noticed also that it involves netio.sys.

I've been in safe mode for a couple of hours now and have not had the system crash as yet. Usually, it happens within 30min or so.

This could be related to a 3rd party firewall like Zone Alarm. Do you have this installed?

I have BitDefender 2011 and use the firewall it installed, but I was having this problem before I installed it.

I think I've figured it out.

I've spent some time removing and re-installng different programs and, after some trial and error, discovered that it is BitDefender and (of all things) Uniblue Powersuite.

I upgraded the Uniblue Powersuite a couple of days ago. I've been using it for a long time now and really like it. I will not be reloading BitDefender back on the PC.

So far, I've been in normal mode for about 3 1/2 hours now without a crash.

Good Paul D,
3rd party firewalls are not really necessary with Windows 7 like they were with XP
