1112856 2010-06-23 19:33:00 Gidday guys, I just got a new laptop a couple weeks ago, and it keeps crashing with a BlueScreen.

Laptop is a Acer Aspire 5741G win7 home prem 64-bit (Intel core i3, Geforce GT320M, 4GB mem)

I managed to do a debug of the memory dump and it came up with netio.sys along with a couple other objects. I tried to enable driver verifier after reading up on the net and then win7 would not start due to BSOD, so it reverted back to an old restore point.

It has happened twice this morning, and I wasnt even at the computer - had firefox open but.. I cant debug anymore as the restore point didnt have debugging installed then

This should hopefully be the latest minidump

1112857 2010-06-23 19:49:00 Is Zonealarm or Mcafee installed? It looks like both of these can cause netio.sys to crash. And its the same stop error (social.answers.microsoft.com)

And Symantec / Norton internet security can also cause this BSOD. Did you / someone install Nvidia chipset / SATA drivers on this?? Because I dont think its got a Nvidia chipset. Its intel. There are files relating to Nvidia in that dmp file. nvhda64v.sys is one of them

1112858 2010-06-23 20:06:00 Forget the last bit of the previous post. It looks like it can use Intel, ATI, or Nvidia VGA Speedy Gonzales (78)
1112859 2010-06-24 07:04:00 Yeah I have Zonealarm, however I uninstalled it, yet it was still crashing, I think there is some kind of norton but its not running. zonealarm reinstalled after restore point. Also think there may be some mcafee on here to (all part of the package etc with acer).

edit: half asleep, zonealarm is uninstalled did that this morning. I have avast as antivirus.

1112860 2010-06-24 07:22:00 So is the Laptop still under warranty? Sweep (90)
1112861 2010-06-24 07:31:00 Sounds alot like a software fault, before it gets to the point of claiming waranty support, id be doing a rebuild via recovery partition, or the disk you will have made when you first got the laptop. Alex B (15479)
1112862 2010-06-24 07:44:00 Yeah warrantee for 2 years I think. Well, im not sure if there is a recovery partition. Ill have to look at all the acer software that come with, cos i never made a disk? MrBeef (342)
1112863 2010-06-24 07:45:00 Make sure all 3 are not on the system. Use nortons removal tool, mcafee's tool to remove them completely. If all of them were installed at the same time (and all had firewalls, inc windows firewall), I wouldnt be surprised if it crashed. Make sure you install one AV and one fw ONLY Speedy Gonzales (78)
1112864 2010-06-24 07:57:00 So make recovery disks before you need same unless supplied by Acer already. Sweep (90)
1112865 2010-06-24 22:00:00 The Windows 7 firewall is pretty good and certainly enough for joe bloggs, ditch zone alarm and mccrappy and nortoooooons! SolMiester (139)
