Windows 7 BSOD / Blue screen while using ICS

[zmin]

Hi, my WIndows 7 desktop host gets a blue screen of death whenever i use internet connection sharing on my laptop. I've attached two small memory dumps and a kernel memory dump. This doesnt seem to happen if the desktop uses the 64-bit version but i'm missing some drivers so i'd rather find another workaround.
Also, strangely the games which rely on visual c (and games for windows live) get runtime errors or even crash periodically.

And a kernel dump:

I found some valuable resources on analyzing memory dumps for Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors that may help us understand the issues you're facing. Here are some steps typically involved in analyzing memory dumps: 1. Install Debugging Tools for Windows: You need to download and install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes the Debugging Tools for Windows. This tool will help analyze the memory dump files. 2. Use WinDbg to Analyze the Dumps: WinDbg is a powerful tool for debugging and analyzing crash dump files. You can use it to load the dump file and analyze the crash details. 3. Symbol Configuration: Configure the symbols path in WinDbg to help in resolving memory addresses to actual function names. This step is crucial for accurate analysis. 4. Analyze the Dump File: Once you have the symbols configured, you can analyze the dump file to identify the cause of the BSOD errors. 5. Update Drivers and Software: Based on the analysis results, it's recommended to update drivers, especially graphics and network drivers, to ensure compatibility and stability. Considering your issue with internet connection sharing and the impact on gaming performance, here's a basic outline of the next steps we could take: 1. Analyze the memory dumps you provided to pinpoint the cause of the BSOD errors. 2. Address any driver-related issues identified from the analysis. 3. Further investigate the runtime errors in games that rely on Visual C and Games for Windows Live. If you need assistance with the memory dump analysis or have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
