NETIO.SYS BSOD whilst using a torrenting application.

kilebantick · 06 Nov 2013

Hey there users of Sevenforums.

I'm currently having an infuriating issue with my computer.
As of late (I've searched for a cause, to no avail!) I've been having a rather nasty and annoying issue with my computer.

As soon as I open up uTorrent (a torrenting application) and begin to seed or download anything (the majority of which is Adventure Time, if that helps at all) and it downloads/uploads for a minute, to 5 minutes, I'll get a BSOD saying something about "NETIO.SYS".

My limited Google-fu has yielded nothing, other than that my AV may be at fault, but it was uninstalled and the issue persisted.

ALL of my drivers are currently as up to date as is humanly possible (without the use of a time machine). My install is currently quite small as I'm not wanting to make my old as hell Vertex 2's too angry, I don't have many intrusive applications installed either.

I have attached my .dmp file, I hope that it's the correct file to upload.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated as this is really frustrating.

Hello, please follow the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions :) .

What I can see from the dump is pretty much what I expected it to be.

Code:

BugCheck D1, {28, 2, 0, fffff88001d1e6fd}

Probably caused by : NETIO.SYS ( NETIO!RtlCopyBufferToMdl+1d )

Code:

12 fffff880`037bd600 00000000`00000000 ndis!ndisMDispatchReceiveNetBufferLists+0x1d6

The three drivers on the stack, ndis | tcpip | NETIO are all legitimate Windows components so they are not the cause, all of those are network drivers so I was looking for drivers that do just that
not surprisingly athrx is awfully outdated.

Code:

lmvm athrx
start             end                 module name
fffff880`06667000 fffff880`067e4000   athrx    T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: athrx.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\athrx.sys
    Image name: athrx.sys
    Timestamp:        Mon Oct 05 19:33:57 2009

Driver Reference Table - athrx.sys

I don't have any information about the machine as no other file was uploaded,
but please update the driver.

ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows

Hey mate. I tried the SF_Diagnostic tool last night and it didn't put a folder on my desktop unfortunately. It decided to put it in D:\users\ect\ect\ect\ect as opposed to C:\users\ect\ect\ect\ect, but found it nonetheless.

The Atheros driver is for my TP-Link wireless card which has an Atheros chip on it. The card is currently out, yet unfortunately the issue is still happening.

Here is that .zip you were asking for mate.
Thanks for the help!

No new dumps in that file :/ ..
Look in the minidump folder for any new ones.

Code:

C:\Windows\minidump

Oh my, I'm really sorry about that. I had no idea I had to let the computer completely flush it's memory before I did a hard reset, my apologies.

Here is the dump file generated 30 seconds ago from a BSOD I deliberately caused by opening uTorrent :).

Thanks for your help mate.

It's the same but with a different culprit

.

Code:

lmvm Rt64win7
start             end                 module name
fffff880`066b0000 fffff880`06735000   Rt64win7 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: Rt64win7.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\Rt64win7.sys
    Image name: Rt64win7.sys
    Timestamp:        Fri Jun 10 09:33:15 2011

Driver Reference Table - Rt64win7.sys

No code has to be inserted here.

I have updated it (Haha, 3 years newer! Crazy!!!) and am doing tests now to see how it'll go. I'll get back to you soon.
Thanks once again for your help YoYo, it is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Yes, this is working, and working very well at that. My network throughput to my server has almost doubled in speed (as well as no random stutterings) and my computer isn't BSODing at all whilst having uTorrent open (did I mention it's grabbing episodes far quicker than earlier).

I'll not mark this as solved just yet, I'll wait an hour or so, but I'm EXTREMELY happy and thankful so far YoYo.

If only there were some way I could repay you mate. Thank you!

No need :), I'm happy I could be of an assistant.

In due time, please mark the thread as solved.

kilebantick · 07 Nov 2013

Yup. Perfectly fixed! Thanks mate! Time to enjoy some Adventure Time with the girlfriend, she'll be wrapped!!!

Good news and you're welcome, enjoy your stay :) .
