Windows 7: BSOD when idling, can't remember error code

Dist · 18 Nov 2012

I've had this computer for around 2 months now, and as far as I can tell I'm getting BSODs more and more often as time goes by. It seems to have been happening while the computer is idling after playing a video game, no specific game. As of yet, it hasn't happened while I've been at the computer, only when I'm off doing something else. If it happens again, I'll give you guys there error code.

Here's the .dmp files:

Probably caused by : tmcomm.sys ( tmcomm+77f5 )
Trend Micro Internet Security/ Housecall scanner

Please uninstall Trend Micro Titanium. It's known to cause BSOD-s.
I see that you are using Microsoft security essentials and having two antiviruses would cause conflicts.

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

Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.

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:

Click on the Start
Type CMD on Search
Left click and Run as Administrator
Type SFC /scannow

Full tutorial here:

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

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

Disk Check

Free up the start-up, nothing except the antivirus is usually needed.

Update the Atheros AR9271 Wireless Network Adapter drivers:

Code:

2: kd> lmvm athurx
start             end                 module name
fffff880`08613000 fffff880`087f0000   athurx   T (no symbols)

ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????)

Find drivers:

Quote:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

Let us know the results.
