BSOD while updating Steam games.

Hi,

I have been trying to get to the bottom of some crashing issues with my PC.

Most of the time it is stable but I have been getting the odd BSOD that seemed almost random.

Recently I was trying to update a game through Steam and it keeps blue screening after a short period of downloading.

This was the info given by Windows

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: d1
BCP1: FFFFF8A01C927000
BCP2: 0000000000000002
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: FFFFF880010078A4
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1



Some help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Lionmon.

Scan the system for possible virus infection.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

update the network driver:

Code:

Name    [00000020] Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
Driver    c:\windows\system32\drivers\rt64win7.sys (7.46.610.2011, 526.60 KB (539,240 bytes), 10/06/2011 6:34 AM)

Get it from Realtek

Code:

Name    [00000020] Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
Driver    c:\windows\system32\drivers\rt64win7.sys (7.46.610.2011, 526.60 KB (539,240 bytes), 10/06/2011 6:34 AM)
Name    [00000022] TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter
Driver    c:\windows\system32\drivers\athuwx.sys (7.7.0.102, 2.12 MB (2,224,160 bytes), 28/07/2011 7:07 PM)

Get it from ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????)
Download the network card driver from manufactuer's website.
Then reinstall the driver:

1. Click the Start Button, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Start Menu Search box and press Enter.
2. Double click to expand "Network adaptors".
3. Right click your network card and click Uninstall.
4. Check "Delete driver software for this device" check box, click OK.
5. Restart the computer
6. If windows does not auto configure the appropriate drivers at startup, install the downloaded one manually.

You have some other connections, such as

• Name [00000009] Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
• Name [00000012] Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
• Name [00000021] RemoteControl USB LAN LINK

If you use those, update those, too.

Do some disc checks. (If you got a malware at the first step, postpone it)

1. Update your SSD's Firmware (Skip it, if it is not a SSD)
2. Re-seat the sata and power.
3. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
4. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
   Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.

Let us know the results.

That's a File system corruption.
Post a screenshot using CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World. And perform this part of my earlier post.
