Solved Random BSOD's, worker_thread_returned_at_bad_irql

[Darmkanaal]

Hello,

Since a few days I have been getting random BSOD's. The screen says: "worker_thread_returned_at_bad_irql" and other text. I ran SF_Diagnostic_Tool.exe and I'll post the results below. Could you help me out?

Thanks

D

Welcome

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

McAfee is a known cause to BSOD, please uninstall it. I note that you already have MSE installed but two antiviruses on a computer would create problems anyway.

• McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

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 the results and further BSODs if any
