BSOD while torrenting

[marimo727]

After a couple minutes of torrenting, my computer keeps crashing.

I'm not good with technology, but from browsing, I've gathered I should post a zip file of my minidump files.. (I have no idea what those even are)

here there are..

I hope I did this right.

Can't read the dump. Can you zip it again?

 

[marimo727]

Did it again, and it ended up being too big
so I only zipped the last 5.

*still hoping it'll work*

Looks like a network driver is causing this. What are your computer specs? Make and model?

 

[marimo727]

I'm not really sure what you're asking for, sorry ):

I have a Lenovo thinkpad though T410i

uhm...
Windows 7 Enterprise
Service Pack 1
Intel core i3 CPU ,2.13GHz
RAM: 4GB
64 bit

is that it?

 

[Tmagic650]

That's good... All the minidumps shows the same thing. What antivirus program are you using? Torrenting is a dangerous hobby. Virus and other malware infections are rampant with torrenting practices

 

[marimo727]

the antivirus is McAfee

 

[Tmagic650]

Remove McAfee and install Microsoft Security Essentials:

Also, download this temp file cleaner:

Run the cleaner from the desktop and let it restart the computer

Do you have another minidump with that to post? Remember to ZIP it if necessary

 

[marimo727]

Yup, just one. Here it is.

 

[Tmagic650]

Microsoft Security Essentials showed no infections? The minidump is still the same:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Netio.sys
Ntoskrnl.exe

Are there any yellow exclamation points in the device manager?

 

[marimo727]

no infections or yellow exclamation points.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Netio.sys
Ntoskrnl.exe

what does that mean?

 

[Tmagic650]

It refers to a network driver issue. This is a driver that connects your computer to the Internet. Can you go to other non-torrent sites without any problems?

 

[marimo727]

it doesn't crash when i go to a site. It's when I'm torrenting (i used utorrent)
It'll work just fine for a couple minutes and then I see a blue screen with white letters...
it's done that on different files.

 

[Tmagic650]

Do you have any site blocking software similar to the software that keeps children from going places on the computer that could be harmful to them?

 

[marimo727]

I think it's good now! Sorry for all the trouble, turns out all the mcafee things didn't uninstall because I couldn't get rid of the Agent and it kept reinstalling everything else.
But I got rid of the Agent and so far so good, thanks so much!

Very good marimo727,
...and you are quite welcome
