    So I left my laptop torrenting overnight and by morning I had another BSOD.
    This time it seemed to be afd.sys causing problems.

    In my efforts to figure this out I found this thread:
    Blue Screen afd.sys

    I have an Atheros AR8151 Ethernet controller, however I only use my wifi on the laptop. A Broadcom 802.11n network adapter.

    Windows automagically found driver updates for the Broadcom, but not the Atheros.

    I shall again test the system for another day and see if the driver update solved anything.

    I have included another dump incase I am barking up the wrong tree entirely.
    Thanks again for your help!

    One troubleshooting step that we have not tried is: connect via the Ethernet adapter and see if you continue to have problems during downloading. Disable your wireless adapter or turn it off via the laptop switch/Fn-F** (where ** represents the proper function key for your wireless enable/disable feature) during this test.

    I also note AVG installed on the system. Please remove with the AVG remover and replace with one of the two security setups I mentioned previously. or the

    Still getting BSODS. This time again when leaving uTorrent going over night.
    To recap, I have uninstalled AVG and installed Microsoft's antivirus software.
    I have updated my wireless drivers.

    Tonight I shall turn off my wi-fi and let uTorrent download via Ethernet cable instead.

    Included is my latest dump.

    Same as before... In addition to updating your drivers, I would recommend making sure Windows is up to date. I noticed that Service Pack 1 has not yet been installed.

    Update to Service Pack 1 (SP1)
