Windows 7 BSOD caused by driver: ntoskrnl.exe

[louis0nfire]

So I've gotten a BSOD twice and decided to use a diagnosing program to see why it was happening. It picked up that ntoskrnl.exe is causing the BSOD. Why is it happening? What do I do from here?

I attached the .dmp file.

Start by updating this driver
UsbFltr.sys 4/9/2007 from here Razer Support
If you no longer have or use the Razer device then uninstall the associated software or consider renaming the file to UsbFltr.OLD
and while you're at it update your Realtek High Definition Audio Device
RTKVHD64.sys 10/5/2010 from here Realtek
And in the mean time Please read the first post in this sticky thread here How to ask for help with a BSOD problem
Do your best to accumulate the data required.
Run the SF Diagnostic tool (download and right click the executable and choose run as administrator)
Download and run CPUz. Use the Windows snipping tool to gather images from all tabs including all slots populated with memory under the SPD tab.
Likewise RAMMon. Export the html report, put everything into a desktop folder that you've created for this purpose, zip it up and attach it to your next post (right click it and choose send to, compressed (zipped) folder.
Good luck
Randy

louis0nfire - I am seeing BSODs in SWTOR also as are a lot of other people. It appears to be a problem with the game and hopefully a fix will be out soon. The issue happens on nvidia and ATI cards at the very least.
