[Chulain]

Hey guys, was playing Overwatch with friends when I suddenly got a BSOD, can't remember what error as it was very unexpected.

I was hoping someone could help me out here.

msi afterburner
riva tuner
HWinfo
discord
vlc player
firefox
avg anti virus

edit: got bluescreenview

the following files are marked red:
ntoskrnl.exe
Rt64win7.sys
tcpip.sys

back in april I got the same BSOD: BSOD playing battlefield 4

How can I get rid of this BSOD? I got the correct drivers for my network adapter. (from my mobo's website)

Please search for "msinfo32" (without quotes) and press enter,

• save it as msinfo32.nfo,
• in explorer go to the directory where it is saved,
• right click the msinfo32.nfo file,
• choose 'send to' or 'copy to',
• choose 'compressed (zipped) folder',
• upload the zip file.

Unfortunately the file is corrupt, again.

Diagnostics Test

 System File Check

Please try following:

• Open an admin command prompt
• Copy/paste "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
• When it is finished reboot your system
• Open again an admin command prompt
• Enter sfc/scannow again

If sfc/scannow says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after the second SFC, please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.

Make a photo of the result and post it.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

I uploaded the log anyway, if you wanna take a look at it.

Could it have anything to do with me hosting a wireless network on my pc using a network adapter pretty much all the time? I use it to connect to the internet with my smartphone.

(made the network with "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NAME key=PASSWORD")

 

[axe0]

Network adapters have been known for causing BSODs in the past, I personally haven't seen any trouble with network adapters recently but that's no reason to exclude them as a possible cause.

 

[Chulain]

Would've been great if we had some sort of proof showing directly what's wrong.
Having this wifi in my room is kinda crucial, as long as the blue screens appear 1-2 times a year I'll be fine I guess.
If the blue screens were very frequent I could just stop using it for a day or two but that's unfortunately not the case.

Anyhow, thank you for your assistance! I appreciate it.

Have a nice day

We may be able to find the root cause, it may take some trial and error.

In reference to the network adapter, it is important to keep the drivers up to date.

 

[Chulain]

Strange, it happened again today.

Diagnostic Test

 DRIVER VERIFIER

   Warning

Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
Please create a restore point.

Please follow this tutorial to run driver verifier.

Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

   Note

Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

Sorry about the delayed response, I thought we gave up

Didn't even make it to user screen

 

[axe0]

Please uninstall AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials as alternative
Uninstall :ar: Solved Anti Virus (AV) stand alone removal tools - Windows 10 Forums

 

[Chulain]

Not really a fan of microsoft's software actually, you believe their anti virus (and firewall since I'm also using AVG firewall) is enough to keep my pc secure?

 

[axe0]

Yes, but you do (also with any other av) have to pay attention to several things to be safe. Like not opening email attachments and the other basic stuff.

 

[Chulain]

All set then. Hopefully It's fine now.

Thanks for all the help so far <3
