Windows 7: Frequent BSOD on new system

redsquirrel · 29 Apr 2010

Hi

I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit for a few months now, and I've been getting frequent BSOD for the last month or so. This is a new system I've assembled, so I cannot guess which part is causing the problem.... I've installed all the latest drivers. However I do notice the following:

1) The BSODs have all occurred while I am browsing the internet.
2) Just before BSOD, the screen goes funny with coloured stripes. (which could suggest graphics card issues)

Anyway, I've tried everything from updating drivers + bios, windows driver verifier etc with no success. I've attached the minidumps below. Any help with much much appreciated!!!!!

TIA

Looks like your Shrew Soft Virtual Network Adapter is causing the problem. This is the 3rd problem with that that I've seen this week. As I recall, one of the posters stated that there's discussion about it on the Shrew Soft forums.

Please uninstall the Shrew Soft software to see if this fixes the BSOD's.

Summary of the BSOD's:
