BSOD when connecting using USB modem HSM56 Smartlink Model SL-FU05

[DOS989]

Greetings!
I'm having a problem with a computer getting on dial-up internet via a USB modem.

To begin with, this is my GRANDMOTHER's computer which sits at her house with NO INTERNET. I have however gathered as much information as possible from the computer while I was there.

The problem:
The computer gets a BSOD as soon as the USB modem tries to connect. The computer also gets BSOD if you pull out the USB cable from the modem while the computer is on. Nothing bad happens if you restart without the modem and then plug it in, only unplugging it causes BSOD (along with trying to connect to internet). The modem is a HSM56 Smartlink Model SL-FU05.

What I've done so far:
Updated video card driver, updated modem driver, deleted modem software & driver and reinstalled, uninstalled antivirus (Avira AntiVir), and of course restarted multiple times. Windows is otherwise in default configuration.

Physical Limitations:
The computer only has one PCI slot and no other internal motherboard connections (pci-e, agp, etc). The single PCI slot is occupied by a video card. The motherboard does not have a built in modem, but it does have an ethernet jack.

More Detailed Information (via sticky post):
This version of Windows 7 . . .
- is x86 (32-bit) Ultimate
- is the second installation, first was WinXP Pro
- is an OEM version that was purchased separately [GLC-00182-pmr]

- The hardware is approximately 6 months old, I built the whole thing myself
- The OS is approximately 1 month old

Attached in this post should be two things:
*One is a copy/paste of the dump information into a text file and
*one is the output of CPU-Z CPUID which details the specs of the system.

I have not tried any other modems (and do not have any other modems) and PCI is not available without removing the video card. I've wondered if there is such a thing as a standalone modem that accepts RJ45 on the computer side and uses RJ11 for the signal side. I haven't been able to find one but don't know what such a thing would be called either.
It would be better to find out why the BSOD pops up though, the modem appears to work fine. Even though it hangs after BSOD, it still makes the usual modem noises, just a solid buzz instead of the complete cycle of tones though. BSOD happens almost the instant the modem makes noise trying to connect.

I tried to include as much info as possible. I hope its enough to go on without having to run back and forth, my grandmother's house is a sizable distance from my house. If any more info is needed please let me know, I'll try to gather information as quickly as possible.

Hello and Welcome!

Without Dump files it's hard to troubleshoot. Follow this Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions and post us the files.

According to your description it could be either bad USB Modem drivers or device itself might be damaged. My suggestions would be to try to reinstall the drivers and see if it works. If not try with a different modem.

Hope this helps!

Okay, attached should be the zip. Thank you.

Greetings, Captain!
I went to the Windows device manager and told windows to update the driver on the modem shown (which should be the smartlink modem, it disappears when the computer is booted without the modem connected), and Windows updated it and now returns that it is up to date (that is as of running the exe to get dump information). Do you have a suggested place for finding more recent drivers? Or a way to find those drivers individually and have Windows update them automatically? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I did some searching myself on RecAgent.sys but didn't find much of anything useful. Results ranged from those automatic driver wizards and PC repair tools (which may or may not be some type of malware, I haven't dealt with those) and other results about removing RecAgent.sys on claims that it is a menace. Maybe I'm not searching in the right place?

Pardon me, I forgot to check that link first. Reading on that now.

Here RecAgent.sys Windows process - What is it?
