    BSOD occurs Randomly


    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
    Full retail, same OS as originally installed one.
    Age of system is 10 months.
    Reinstalled OS once due to needing a new hard drive 9 months ago.

    The BSODs occur randomly and seem to happen once a month. I don't know if they're all the same error, but the most recent one was IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and 0x0000000A and this occurred when i started up my computer from hibernation.

    Ever since I had the first BSOD (in January), my computer crashes randomly when playing League of Legends. This does not happen often, maybe once a month, but it does happen. I wonder if this could be related to the BSOD. I also noticed my computer started up a lot more slowly after the first BSOD as well.

    Thank You.

    Hello jwei4,

    The one crash a month you are getting is related to netio.sys, and when that happens it is usually a result of the malware app installed on the machine.

    Avast can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S .
    Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST.
