    Another BSOD, but there's nothing actually wrong :S


    Running windows x86
    Installed off the disc it didn't come with the computer
    Original OS is Vista
    The computer is around 4 - 5 years old
    I re-installed the OS about a week ago as I wassuffering from BSOD and thought a re-installation would fix it.


    About the anti-virus, I have Avast free version installed but i'm not sure why it dosen't recognize it.

    Remove Avast and install MS Security Essentials.
    Third-Party Anti-Virus can conflict with Windows 7.
    Fill your system specs - 456GB memory?

    Memtest, run at least 7 passes on a cold boot overnight:

    Also, I need the model name of your networking card (Ethernet) and possibly wireless as well. Rt86win7.sys (Ethernet or Wireless) seems to be causing the BSOD.

    Ok I think I pulled it up. I have:

    Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

    Need anything else?

    I'm sorry to bump this topic but I just got the BSoD twice in about 5 minutes, I managed to catch this message:

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    I don't know if that's going to help or not, but I would really like this fixed.
