BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

[DPChristm]

I just bought this computer about two weeks ago, and have gotten this message 3 times already


The BSODs mention specifically NETIO.SYS.

Doing a little research, I found that this can be caused by Avast antivirus, which is what I was using.


I uninstalled Avast, and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.


So the questions are, how can I tell of this was the issue, and is there a way to test the system to see if that fixed the problem.


I have an open RMA from the seller (NEWEGG), but it is only valid until 8/5.


If this fixed the problem, I am thinking about just keeping the computer (otherwise I like it).


These are my System Specs:

Hello

Has the problem reappeared since you stopped using Avast? If not, hopefully you have fixed it.

If you post the logfiles as requested at the top we might be able to tell from the crash dumps if Avast was involved.

So far, no issues. I have left the computer since removing Avast (other than a few reboots), and rand some tests including Passmark performance test, defrags, and a bunch of other stuff. Trying to stress the system enough to crash.
So far so good.


I am not sure how to get the logs, but I copied this message after a BSOD/reboot

Another thing I noticed is a keyboard not found error on boot up.


I attribute this to the fact that I am using a KVM switch, and left the Keyboard/Mouse switched to the other computer at the time.


I plugged a separate mouse/keyboard into the PC (though I really don't use them), and that error has stopped, regardless of where the KVM is set.
