    BSOD during usual activity.


    I have window 7 Professional 64 bits with service pack.
    I was doing my usual things like surfing on net and suddenly BSOD occur.
    I dont have idea which software/program casueed that BSOD. But 1 thing I would like to tell is that I have 1 new application that I recently installed 1 month before and that is "Dropbox". It always starts and run upon window startup. Here is my SF file.

    Code:
    Start Menu\Programs\Alcohol 52%	Public:Start Menu\Programs\Alcohol 52%	Public
    Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although we have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions). Please uninstall Daemon Tools.

    As an alternative, many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO

    AVG is a frequent cause of BSOD's. Replace with Microsoft Security Essentials & the Free version of Malwarebytes, update and make full scans separately:
    • Do not start the trial version of MalwareBytes

    Reduce items at start up:
    Your Antivirus software is basically whats just needed there.

    Test your Hard Drive by running:

    Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+:

       Tip
    • Pay close attention to part 3 of the tutorial "If you have errors"
    • Test the RAM with Memtest86+ for at least 7-10 passes. It may take up to 22 passes to find problems. Make sure to run it once after the system has been on for a few hours and is warm, and then also run it again when the system has been off for a few hours and is cold.


    Monitor hardware temperature with system monitoring software like Speccy or HWMonitor:

    Thanks for your response and I have uninstalled "Alcohol". I am using AVG for more then a year and I have never experience BSOD due to AVG
