BSOD - Numerous crashes, suspect BitDefender
Hello all,
I hope you can help me a bit. I'm sort of a power user myself, but I have never understood much in the way of BSOD debugging besides which driver the system says caused it. I have had 13 BSODs since 11 March and I'm not sure what started going wrong. I changed my Anti-Virus to BitDefender Anti-Virus 2016 on 18 March, so that doesn't seem to explain the 3 BSODs before then. What I am most concerned about are the BSODs that have occurred since 29 April. On 26 April I upgraded to BitDefender Internet Security 2016 to get in on their fancy firewall offering. Since then I have had 5 BSODs all related to either NETIO.sys or tcpip.sys. Additionally, their firewall has always seemed buggy and will often freeze and not let me approve any network access attempts until I restart the computer. I also upgraded the driver of my network adapter (Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 7260) to try to solve it, but had one more BSOD today. If you can confirm that BitDefender is or is not the problem I would appreciate it. If you can also find the cause of the other 8 BSOD's I will forever be in your debt.
