Solved BSOD, error 0x000000E1, mostly when downloading torrents

[Eamane]

For some weeks, I have been getting frequent BSODs, especially while I am downloading some torrent files.

I keep getting the error:

WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IQRL
STOP: 0x000000E1

I was using utorrent. I installed the latest version, still I got the same blue screen and error so I then uninstalled it. Then I installed the Vuze. Again BSOD.

So I removed all torrent software. But I still got a BSOD, even though I was not downloading anything.

I was trying Tixati today to download something. Again I got BSOD while it was running. This time, it took a lot of time to reboot completely.

I am tired of these blue screens. Why all of a sudden? Please help!

Thank you.

Welcome

Will take a look at your dumps soon.

Problematic software:

Start Menu\Programs\Comodo    Public:Start Menu\Programs\Comodo    Public
Start Menu\Programs\McAfee    Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee    Public

Uninstall Comodo and McAfee they are known to cause BSODs. I note that you have MSE installed and having 2 antivirus programs would create conflicts anyway.

• McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller
• COMODO uninstall tool

Recommended antivirus program for Windows 7 based on stability compared to others:-

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
• Malwarebytes - The Free version
• http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/206705-good-free-system-security-combination.html

Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.

Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:

Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

Keep us posted of further BSODs

BSOD again

I left my computer on for the day. When I came back after several hours, there was a BSOD. There were no torrents running.

I have attached a new SF file.

That dump is of 22nd. Did you do anything suggested on the first post?

 

[Eamane]

I removed COMODO.

I tried doing the 'Disk Check'. But since 'C' is my main drive, it wont run. But when I click on 'Schedule disk check', nothing happens.

 

[koolkat77]

Deselect "Automatically fix file systems errors" and select "Scan and attempt recovery of bad sectors"

What about McAfee?

 

[Eamane]

Does McAfee really cause BSOD..Its just that its a paid subscription, and I didnt want to cancel it....

In Check Disk: I selected 'scan for and attempt recovery...' and deselected 'automatically fix..', but it just scanned for some seconds and then said, I need to select the 'Automatically fix...' to fix the errors found.

Uninstalled McAfee...

After 36 hrs of downloading stuff...no BSODs at all...

Thank you... What a relief!!
