    Can you please post minidump with your next post for analysis. You can find those in C:\windows\minidump.

    Please zip the files (in case you have multiple dumps). Regards

    Is this the minidump? I'm not quite sure.

    BSOD was caused by Realtek driver [SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)]. The driver file involved is RTL8192u.sys, which is for Realtek RTL8192U Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter.

    Please uninstall your currently installed realtek driver, then remove any traces of it with Driver Sweeper or Driver Cleaner Pro (Both free) and download latest driver from realtek and install it.

    Please keep me posted about your progress.

    So it's having conflict with the mcafee system I installed because the driver's bad or?
    Thank you I will try tomorrow.

    I am unsure about mcafee being the issue here; but frankly it isn't the best AV out there, if possible consider replacing it with other solutions.

    Please keep us updated about the results of my above recommendations. Regards

    Is this the sound system? the realtek high definition audio driver?
  8. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    Please re-read my post at # 4; as pointed out the BSOD was caused by RealTek wireless USB adapter.

    Kindly follow the suggestion as given, and let us know if you need any further assistance. Regards

    I'm looking through my programs and I can't find that program. I don't think I installed it, is this a wireless program? Unless it's a D-link wireless usb, because that's the only thing I'm using to connect to the internet. Sorry I'm not really sure what this program is so I don't even know where it is to remove it
  10. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    Ah, you are using USB Wireless device (probably a realtek one) to connect with internet?

    I guess in that case, it would be prudent if you can give me details about that device e.g. make/model number/currently installed driver version etc. So I can see whether there are new drivers available for it.

    You should be able to get driver related information from the software which you use to connect this device with internet.
  11. yukira Newcomer, in training Posts: 23

    Yes I'm using a wireless one.
    It's a D-link DWA-130, uh I don't know how to look for the verison but I don't think I've updated the drivers.
    Draft 802.11 N
    Um Verison 2.0
    H/W ver: C1 F/W Ver: 1.20

    Since the only realtek program I see at the moment is my audio thing that's why I'm a bit confused.
  12. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    Strangely enough when i looked for info on that driver, the driver is listed for wireless device from realtek. But I have came across countless times here where their audio driver has been causing this.

    Did you have any more BSODs / minidumps?

    Also, please uninstall your currently installed realtek drivers, then remove any left over files with Driver Sweeper or Driver Cleaner Pro. Then download the latest version from your motherboard vendor and install it.
  13. yukira Newcomer, in training Posts: 23

    Nope that's all I have for mini dumps right after the bluescreen when I'm in safe mode. This only happens when i've updated the mcafee program but at the moment i've uninstalled it and system restored so everything's working fine. So it's a bit weird.

    So should I reinstall the realtek audio and the d-link? or just one of them?
  14. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    First proceed with installation of d-link driver, please ensure that you have run driver cleaner pro or driver sweeper to get rid of any left over files.
  15. yukira Newcomer, in training Posts: 23

    okay i've tried the uninstallation and reinstallation of the d-link driver
    and then the installation of mcafee
    and it didn't work it still gave me the same bluescreen problem.
  16. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    please post your minidumps, that may be helpful. Regards

    here's the minidump from yesterday.

    0x7E, caused by RTL8192u.sys. It is the same realtek driver we've been talking about.
  19. yukira Newcomer, in training Posts: 23

    so should I try the realtek audio?
    because that's the only one that I have that's realtek
    nothing else I use is realtek?
    RTL8192u.sys
    i've also searched up and i do see that file.

    It's weird cuz it functions fine when i'm not using mcafee.
  20. Archean TechSpot Paladin Posts: 5,735   +27

    As I suggested earlier uninstall all realtek drivers, and use Driver Sweeper or Driver Cleaner pro (freely available, just search for them); to clear out any remaining files from these drivers. Once you have done that, pause for a bit and see whether the system stabilizes.
