    Recently, I've been getting a blue screen every so often randomly. It usually happens when I upload something to DropBox. Anyways, I finally checked for solutions and a result came saying it is due to Ethernet. Here is the Screen:

    I've done the diagnose and repair, but no problems. Only thing I haven't done is Disable Receive Window Auto-Tuning, which I don't know the downside of the effects that well.

    Someone shed some light on my BSOD!


    Specs: Windows Vista Home x64


    EDIT: Updated to a later driver from the Realtek site, let's see if the problem stops.

    That is what I would have suggested--updating the driver...

    Yep. Driver update should be the way to go.

    Well yeah, that is the obvious and most common problem for Blue Screens. I did the check for newer version via Windows in Device Manager, and it found nothing and said I was using the best version, so I assumed I had the latest one. Then I decided to dig deeper to their actual website and found a newer one.
