Windows 7: BSOD while downloading via Bittorrent

laslanbas · 23 Feb 2013

I recently started getting BSOD in ~20 minutes after I start Bittorrent.
I get no BSOD on any other occasion except when I use Bittorrent.

The PC is:

Asus N55SL Notebook.
Windows 7 - Home Premium 64-bit
i7-2670QM 2,2GHz
8GB DDR3 Ram
Nvidia GeForce GT 635M 2GB

This is the zip file to help you out in resolving my problem:

I "GUESS" that I have all my drivers are up to date.

Thanks for taking time

Edit: I get a "irql_not_less_or_equal" error on BSOD screen. (FYI)

avast! TDI Filter Driver Is crashing the computer.

Code:

fffff880`0397e4b8  fffff880`032c778d*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswTdi.SYS
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswTdi.SYS
 aswTdi+0x478d

Description here: Driver Reference Table - aswTdi.SYS

Uninstall Avast using Avast Uninstall Utility. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Realtek High Definition Audio Function Driver is also failing.

Code:

fffff880`0397e200  fffff880`0b0f4b00Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\RTKVHD64.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for RTKVHD64.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for RTKVHD64.sys
 RTKVHD64+0xd7b00

Update it from Realtek

Hotspot Shield Routing Driver ....... a known cause of BSOD, also playing there.

Code:

fffff880`0397e040  fffff880`03210b90Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\hssdrv6.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for hssdrv6.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for hssdrv6.sys
 hssdrv6+0x10b90

Better you uninstall Hotspot Shield (or stop torrenting; they are kinda contradictory).

Free up the startup.

Click on the Start button
Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus and touchpad driver, SynTPEnh.
Apply > OK
Accept the restart.

Let us know the results.

I have updated Realtek Sound thing and replaced Avast with the ones you mentioned in the ways you told. I only didn't uninstall Hotspotshield because I sometimes use that and I need such a program. I will try torrenting now. I will inform

Thanks for helping out

************************************************************************
EDIT: NOPE it did not work anyways. after ~15 min. I got a BSOD. The Hotspotshield is not even working, or active in any way. (I mean not even working in "inactive" mode in the background.)

However, I Uninstalled it completely and trying the torrent again.

laslanbas · 23 Feb 2013

well... I have done all that you suggested.
I still get that BSOD while torrenting. it came in 5 minutes and then I gave it another try which ended u with BSOD after 35 min.

I am uploading the newly created files (just created NOT the old ones )

*** SF_24-02-2013.zip ***

I might have done something wrong maybe. I do not know well about this kind of things

so pease if you see the same problems again say it again

I have downloaded these drivers but there is no setup file or something in the package, I cannot do it manually.
There is a bunch of .sys .inf .url and .cat files in the zip file downloaded from there.
I am not familiar with these manual installations. please help

Follow this method: Driver Install - Device Manager

It mentioned netio.sys in the BSOD text. Is there a way to update that?
I have been googling that but no solid results...

Yet I did not try torrenting with the updated drivers. I will inform.

Arc · 24 Feb 2013

netio.sys is definitely network related, but it is a system file, cannot be updated externally; if there is an update from the part of microsoft, it will be included in your windows updates automatically.
An outdated/ buggy/ failing network adapetr driver, some network monitoring program including antivirus, and network using programs like torrent and skype etc may cause a netio.sys error.

I thought that the thing is working perfectly and Torrented for 50 minutes or so.
Then it striked back again

BSOD with the same errors happened again on torrent.

do you mind checking it out once more?
