x64 bit.
Running Windows 7.
Full retail version.

At the most, hardware is no more than 2 - 3 years old.
The OS was installed about 4 months ago.

I did recently install a wireless usb adapter. A TrendNET 424UB (V2). But My system has been fine. This is really recent. Ive had 2 BSOD's in the last 40 minutes.

Included rar file.

Thank you very much! Problem is, that this is the most up to date version.
I suppose Im going to have to go without internet until I can get another wireless usb adapter.

Edit: After doing some reading online, it seems that Im not the only one to have this problem. Apparently it has something to do with the router being set to "mixed b/g", when the device supports only g. Perhaps I can prevent the BSOD by changing my router settings. Thanks for the help JMH.

Thanks guys, I'll try that.

I should also note that I only get the BSOD when I have uTorrent running. When Im not actively torrenting anything, my pc runs fine.
