BSOD few minutes after I run uTorrent, also pointing to vmware

[ddmmllll]

Hi.

Few weeks ago I started getting BSODs. I've never had them before. I did not install any new hardware. The only updates that I recall were VMWare Client and regular Windows updates.

After I run uTorrent I get BSOD pointing to NETIO.sys. I tried everything, I even re-installed Windows.

After that I ran driver checker and if I run it I also encounter BSOD while launching VMWare Client (two of my dumps are pointing to vmware).

I am quite frankly running out of ideas and I would appreciate a little bit of help. Dumps and system health files are attached.

-----------------
- 64 bit -> full, retail version
- computer was originally with "free dos"
- laptop is 2,5 years old
- I reinstalled OS a week ago

The vast majority of these do point to NETIO.sys with only the two driver verifier ones Related to vmwvusb.sys VMware View Generic USB Driver (32-bit) from VMware, Inc..

I would do three things

1-Run a system file check to verify and repair the OS files

Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
To do this type cmd in search, then right click to run as administrator, then
SFC /SCANNOW

It may need to be run up to three times before sucessful

Let us know the results from the report at the end.


2- Since both Netio.sys and vm point to a networking issue and they are often a result of malware, or drivers I would download and run malwarebytes.


3-In order to eliminate the vmware as the issue I would remove it hust to test. If fond to be the problem there are other VM clients.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
