Hello, lately my computer just died with a lot of BSOD errors, whenever i booted up about 5 minuites in it would BSOD with no perticular file and later i couldnt even boot up. I thought it might be my hard drive so i wiped it and re installed windows but that didnt do anything so i got a new hard drive today, re installed windows and it was working fine for about 9 hours but now it started again. The first BSOD on the new hard drive had the error "netio.sys" but on the second BSOD it didnt have one. I have swapped ram from another computer and it did nothing. Here are my specs.

AMD Phenon x6 at 3.5GHz (stock speed)
ECS A969M-MV MoBo
Xfx radeon hd 6870 GFX card
8GB ram ddr3 1333
250GB primary HDD (new one)
320GB HDD (old one)
2 TB secondry HDD

All drivers are installed and up to date. Would love some help as it is starting to get frustrating. Thanks, Dave.

Okay 1) Get Malwarebytes and run a full system scan. 2) I would be looking for any BIOS / Drivers updates from the Mobo maker since it is the onboard NIC that is failing. 3) Disable the NIC on boot up. Then go in Device Manager and delete it. Reboot to force Windows to reinstall the drivers. Reenable the drive if necessary. Does it BSOD? 4) If you go into SAFE Mode with networking, do you still get BSOD ? (important test).
A search for that file is network related. So lets go through some basics here, What Antivirus do you use? What Firewall (like you need a software one - not)? What / how are you connecting to the Internet, wired? wireless?

Since you eliminated the HDD (my first suspect) and reinstalled windows, but what Windows is this? That maybe a key as well too here, as XP is no longer supported by anyone so getting 'up to date drivers' would be impossible.
 


My antivirus that i use is Avast free antivirus and the firewall is wndows firewall. I am connected to the internet wired. I am running windows 7 ultimate. UPDATE: It has since BSOD'd with "system_service_exception"

Malwarebytes didnt find anything and i have updated my BIOS drivers again to be sure. The BSOD hasnt come up since i have started the scan for malware so, will get back in touch if it happens again. Thanks!
