I have been suddenly having BSODs since last 2 days. I don't recall doing any thing drastic during that time. I usually keep the PC on and remote from my office. Yesterday, my remote connection hung up and on coming home, I found the PC had the blue screen. Rebooted and sure enough after a while, blue screen appeared again.

I came across this forum and tried the driver verifier. PC started hanging up right on startup. I somehow logged into safe mode and turned off driver verifier. Attaching the windows 7 zip folder as instructed. However the perfmon /report did not work, I am getting a:
Error:


An error occured while attempting to generate the report.



The system cannot find the path specified
error.

Thanks in advance for your help. Appreciate it.

Hi,

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)

This is the general bug check code for fatal errors found by Driver Verifier.

BugCheck C4, {e3, fffff880016648fb, 10240, 0}

Code:
0: kd> k

US40fs64.sys (Everstrike Software's Universal Shield Filter driver) called a kernel-mode only API with a user-mode address as the parameter. Verifier caught this, therefore the box bug checked.

Code:
0: kd> lmvm US40fs64
start             end                 module name
fffff880`01659000 fffff880`01677000   US40fs64 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: US40fs64.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\SysWOW64\drivers\US40fs64.sys
    Image name: US40fs64.sys
    Timestamp:        Fri Mar 05 08:03:05 [COLOR=Red]2010[/COLOR]
Not surprising, pretty old driver. FWIW, I have never heard of this security software either.

Uninstall Everstrike ASAP for troubleshooting purposes.

Regards,

Patrick

Thanks Patrick, I will try removing that software. I have had it on the PC for quite a while though, why would it suddenly start causing the BSOD? Any ideas?

Also I viewed the earlier dump files before the driver verifier bug check and they crashed due to netio.sys.

Since my first BSODs were occuring because of netio.sys, I removed my ESET antivirus. Didn't get any BSOD after that. But then I installed avast free antivirus. The moment the installation ended, got another NETIO.sys BSOD again. So uninstalled it again and the BSOD looks stopped for now..

So can I not install any antivirus again? Maybe its time to reformat my PC....
