    BSOD, error 0x000000E1, mostly when downloading torrents


    For some weeks, I have been getting frequent BSODs, especially while I am downloading some torrent files.

    I keep getting the error:

    WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IQRL
    STOP: 0x000000E1

    I was using utorrent. I installed the latest version, still I got the same blue screen and error so I then uninstalled it. Then I installed the Vuze. Again BSOD.

    So I removed all torrent software. But I still got a BSOD, even though I was not downloading anything.

    I was trying Tixati today to download something. Again I got BSOD while it was running. This time, it took a lot of time to reboot completely.

    I am tired of these blue screens. Why all of a sudden? Please help!

    Thank you.

    Welcome

    Will take a look at your dumps soon.

    Problematic software:
    Code:
    Start Menu\Programs\Comodo    Public:Start Menu\Programs\Comodo    Public
    Start Menu\Programs\McAfee    Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee    Public
    Uninstall Comodo and McAfee they are known to cause BSODs. I note that you have MSE installed and having 2 antivirus programs would create conflicts anyway.



    Recommended antivirus program for Windows 7 based on stability compared to others:-


    Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

    Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:


    Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:


    Keep us posted of further BSODs

    BSOD again


    I left my computer on for the day. When I came back after several hours, there was a BSOD. There were no torrents running.

    I have attached a new SF file.

    I removed COMODO.

    I tried doing the 'Disk Check'. But since 'C' is my main drive, it wont run. But when I click on 'Schedule disk check', nothing happens.

    Deselect "Automatically fix file systems errors" and select "Scan and attempt recovery of bad sectors"

    What about McAfee?

    Does McAfee really cause BSOD..Its just that its a paid subscription, and I didnt want to cancel it....

    In Check Disk: I selected 'scan for and attempt recovery...' and deselected 'automatically fix..', but it just scanned for some seconds and then said, I need to select the 'Automatically fix...' to fix the errors found.
