To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.


To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

Using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit preloaded system is approx 2 years old i think...

here is the SOD info and system health report

It may very well be your torrent client (and I would remove it) but these were Related to Rt64win7.sys 8101E/8168/8169 NDIS 6.20 64-bit Driver from Realtek Corporation.


I would re-install the newest version from Realtek as yours is almost two years old.

uninstalled bittorrent and updated realtek drivers

installed utorrent - after using it for a while got BSOD again

here are new files

Newest crash is still related to Rt64win7.sys. Date on the installed driver is early 2009 way before win 7 was released. You might need to re-install it in compatibility mode

(right click the installer>properties>compatibility> chose vista or xp)

Ok, first thing i did was delete the two downloads in utorrent

Once i did that it seemed ok. I also just reinstalled the realtek driver in compatibility mode (vista sp2)

I'll have a play around with some torrents and i'll let you know what happens
