Windows 7: Random BSOD on barely 6 month old pc

hark0039 · 22 May 2012

I have been experiencing a crash or two every month, randomly, with frequency increasing recently. I can be doing anything, spreadsheet, surfing internet, video, or music, and the computer crashes.

Win 7 Home Premium x64 on my ~6 month old PC with original installation from OEM (HP).

You have a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter. Windows 7 doesn't like these devices, and with a Vista-era driver you can be sure that it's going to spit out BSOD's. Here's my rant about these devices:

Quote:

I do not recommend using wireless USB devices. Especially in Windows 7 systems.
These wireless USB devices have many issues with Windows 7 - and using Vista drivers with them is almost sure to cause a BSOD.
Should you want to keep using these devices, be sure to have Windows 7 drivers - DO NOT use Vista drivers!!!
An installable wireless PCI/PCIe card that's plugged into your motherboard is much more robust, reliable, and powerful.

All of the BSOD's in the MSINFO32 file relate to USB, wifi, or directly to the wireless USB device. I'd be pretty sure that this device is the cause of your problems. And the memory dump analysis agrees with this. The driver for the device dates from 2008.

Please update to a later version of the driver that's Windows 7 compatible. If not available, then I'd suggest an in-the-case PCI/PCIe wireless card or a very long wire.

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs

Thank you. I haven't had a problem since I hard wired my PC to the router.
