    Repeated BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL


    I've been getting these constant blue screens. Looking in BlueScreenView, every crash for the last couple of months seems to be related to afd.sys and ntoskrnl.exe.

    I have tested each memory stick with memtest, and changed slots and reseated them. I have updated the drivers for my graphics card and NIC.

    See dump info attached. I noticed it says in there that it doesn't see antivirus installed, but I'm using AdAware free. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Since your update to SP-1 these crashes were Related to Softperfect Bandwidth Monitoring and Usage Reporting tool. Note: Located in \%Program Files%\NetWorx\

    I would remove it.

    Thanks, I'll try that. Pity, because Networx has been a handy tool.

    Do you mind if I ask where you found that info? (Might as well try to learn something while I'm at it.)

    The information was obtained from Win Debugger

    Thanks, Zigzag!


    Looks like that solved it. Removed Networx 6 days ago, no blue screens since. Sweet.
