Windows 7: BSOD while watching streams.

My pc after 2 months of stability started crashing with no stop, mostly when i was watching Dota 2 streams. I had similar problems back then which a AMD update solved.

It's a Windows 7 64bit 5 month old rig. I have an OEM version of Windows, installed when the pc was built.

Right now after one hour of crashing it runs smoothly. I updated it (many Framework updates) and re-installed Drivers. The error report attached is the same before and after the updates/re-install.

Thank you really much for the support.

* Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

* Also remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

when you're done you can use this Freeware:

MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM (MagicDisc) in its place

Using MagicISO to create ISO image files

AFTER you have done what JMH suggests please do the following

Kaspersky is a frequent cause of BSOD's. I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST.

Update these drivers.
How To Find Drivers:

Quote:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

Hi, I thought I replied but somehow my post didn't make it to the forums. Maybe I wasn't logged in..

I did all that. Antimalware didn't detect anything and uninstalled Alcochol. I updated my system and generally took care of it. I have Kaspersky anti virus but it worked fine until yesterday.


The problem was fixed, until today when my pc re-started without a bsod the moment I tried to watch a video on youtube. Windows found some new updates on framework and I wonder if this has to do with anything

I thought that may be the case. Also there was the same error about Ati tools in every restart. Running in safe mode, Windows found an error with my gpu drivers, so I re-installed them from scratch and deleted ATI tools driver once and for all..

If you meant something else from what I wrote, which is a speculation, I will gladly accept your help

Also I can't understand what the link you posted means : /

Here is the dump of a new crush.. This time, when I was watching a video, screen blacked and the audio continued until the pc restarted.. I start to fear that my gpu is faulty.


Edit: The pc continues to crash and the event log says: Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0

I have no idea what this means and I didn't find any helpful thread via google..

Download the file from the previous link and install it
