    BSOD Frequent Random Shutdowns


    BSOD has been happening for a few months and is becoming more frequent. I bought this laptop in September, and I have made no changes or added upgrades.

    Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, this is the original operation system. It is OEM.

    I'm leaning towards blaming your network device, but I would like you to try this first.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Virtually identical these 50 crashes all point to netio.sys but usually when that is the case it is truly caused by your malware or firewall.

    I would remove Symantec and PCTools and replace them with Microsoft Security essentials at least to test


    ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    Okay, I ran the scan and it did not find any integrity violations.

    Well that is a good sign but doesnt fix your problem. Might want to try removing the PCTools and Symantec.

    The BSOD has been happening since before I added PC tools, so I uninstalled Norton internet security. I will see if that solves it, if not I will uninstall the PC tools and try your suggestion.

    You guys are life savers, thank you soo much! =)
