    BSOD Using Killer e2200 PCI-E Network Card


    Hi Folks,

    Background, I have an MSI GT70, maybe 4 months old. About 6 weeks ago started getting an infrequent problem where using the wired network card would cause my computer to lock up and stop responding, as in everything stopped responding not just explorer, mouse would stop moving and all. It also infrequently blue screens. I have scoured the internet and have been unable to resolve the issue myself. I was hoping someone here would be able to help me. I would prefer not to send it away for warranty if possible as I run my whole life through this machine.

    Attached are the logs, please let me know what else you need.

    Thanks in advance.
    Swarlz.

    Welcome to SevenForums.

    What antivirus are you using? All the BSOD-s were caused by the following driver:

    Product:
    Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
    Company:
    Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.
    Description:
    Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
    Version:
    8.0.2.31

    At the moment, I am using none. My first step was I uninstalled it. I was using Eset Endpoint Antivirus.

    Edit: I am also in the midst of running a virus scan just in case but I don't believe this will be the problem as I don't go to shady sites on this laptop and don't use any unknown USB flash drives or anything.

    Disable driver verifier.

    Ok, that has been done.
    I will reboot in a moment and see how it goes.

    Thanks for your help I will let you know if it happens again.

    Edit: Also I was using Eset Endpoint Antivirus but already uninstalled that while troubleshooting myself.

    I didn't understand. What has been done? Disabled verifier? Updated the driver?

    Do not keep the system without an antivirus.

    I disabled the driver verifier.
    I am not planning on it, I am going to reinstall Eset Endpoint Antivirus.

    What does disabling the driver verifier do exactly? What was the point of disabling it?

    It puts stress on the drivers. Bad/older ones will cause BSOD-s. If there are no BSOD-s with verifier enabled it usually points towards hardware.

    How did you enable it in the first place?
