Hey guys,
This has been going on for a month or two now. It happens very randomly. Sometimes when playing a game, sometimes when in Photoshop, sometimes when in a word processing program. There's no rhyme or reason. I have done all I can to figure it out myself. From what I've read about NETw5s64 it could be my wifi adapter, but I updated all of those drivers and it continues, I also read something about my iPhone connectivity to my PC being the cause so I deleted all Apple software and no dice.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Dump info enclosed

Well, I think the problem is your NETw5s64.sys, wifi adapter, as I've seen it mentioned other places. In device manager, do you see an exclamation mark by your WiFi adapter?

No I do not. You mean the device shown in the image right?

When I updated the drivers for them in an attempt to fix the problem I simply right clicked>update driver>search the web and it automatically updated through Windows. I figured that would have fixed it.

Well....I thought they had separate functions. One was a firewall and one antivirus. Is that not the case? Should I delete one? Which one? Both? Is that what's causing the problem?

Ok.....Avast and Comodo are gone and I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed.

Should I just wait for another BSOD? Was there something in the dump files that pointed to Comodo or Avast?

I've been running Avast and Comodo for a year and didn't have problems, but a month or so ago I went two weeks without a BSOD and I was thinking that maybe I had Avast and Comodo stopped at that time cause sometimes I'll do that when gaming to improve lag. I guess now that they're gone we'll just have to see.

No BSoD in 2 days and I was having them a couple a day. So fingers are crossed that it was Avast and Comodo. Thanks for the help. If I have another one I'll be back.....but if nothing in a few days I'll "mark as solved".

Been about 4 days now and the BSOD's have ceased. Looks like Avast and Comodo were the culprits, though they worked fine together for almost a year. Might have been one or the other weren't playing nice. Oh well......Microsoft Security Essentials seems to work well and is certainly clean and less obtrusive than Avast with it "VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED!!" announcements every time I logged on. Thanks guys. If they occur again I'll be back, but for now things are better and that's a good thing.

That's good to hear :D Some times anti virus and or firewall programs update their core files. that's probably why it worked for so long without any errors etc.

You was using Comodo as the firewall right? Since you have removed it, can you check that the windows firewall is active, just to be on the safe side! Go to 'Control Panel > Windows Firewall check that its on.

Thanks
