I saw this one time when copying a 2GB+ directory of video files from a Buffalo Storage NAS device to a Win7 32-bit PC. The BSOD indicated tdx.sys as the culprit. I have not seen the error other than that one time. Most things I've read seem to indicate the network driver as the culprit in such cases, FWIW.

I've tried transferring several times now and every time the entire system crashes, first explorer.exe crashes, reinstalls itself automatically and is followed by a BSOD after the transfer has been active for +/- 5 minutes. To ensure its not being caused by any other programme I've been running the VPN connection with no other programmes open or running. In Vista Home Premium I never experienced this problem when transferring/ swapping files from the local server over the VPN network set up on my system.When the VPN connection is disconnected Windows 7 runs fine, no problems in fact. This problem is making networking via VPN impossible for me in Windows 7.Has anyone else experienced this problem when transferring files via a VPN in Windows 7 beta and is there a fix? I have Windows 7 beta, build 7000, 64 bit installed.

I do have 2 BSOD .dmp files and wonder if anyone can work out what the problem is from them. I'm not that clued up on dump files and debugging to do anything with them myself.

This problem has been reported with several possible resolutions.1) AV Issue. This has been reported with 2 of the three AV products available for Windows 7.2) Network drivers and Mapped network drives. Depending on Driver version you could have BDOD every 5 - 15 minutes when you have mapped drives. This was my problem. My Dell M6300 laptop had a driver for my Broadcom ethernet that was two revisions behind. I updated the driver and have not had an issue since. 2a) I also removed my mapped network drives, I have not rebooted since but will try later and see.This is where I would concentrate your efforts in fixxing your BSOD proble.Hope this helps.-Steven Perry

How to read the small memory dump files that Windows creates for debuggingAlthough the article if for XP/2K, it works in Vista and Win7Just generate the analysis and copy/paste it into your next post for us to have a look at.- John

I know in my instance it appears to be related to samba file sharing (Fedora 8 server on lan in my case).The AV issue itself is something else entirely I think. I know I removed AVG 8 off my dell E1505 as soon as that started giving me grief.Hopefully MS will give us some form of hotfix ASAP to resolve whatever is giving this amount of grief as network sharing/mapped drives definitely needs to fall under high priority considering how many users utilize such features.Also to further note:I saw this one time when copying a 2GB+ directory of video files from a Buffalo Storage NAS device to a Win7 32-bit PC. The BSOD indicated tdx.sys as the culprit. I have not seen the error other than that one time. Most things I've read seem to indicate the network driver as the culprit in such cases, FWIW.Same here - as Andrew indicated earlier I'm also seeing it as a tdx.sys error.

If you have installed AVG8 by any chance I'd do the following (which resolved it fully for me), this is what was posted elsewhere by pj29 here.Remove/uninstall AVG and then manually go through the registry (good ole fashioned regedit still works fine btw) and remove any AVG keys/entries.Once I fully removed AVG out the tdx.sys BSOD error seems to have bit the dust. Mind you it would be nice to see win7 not have AV issues as it is currently (a ton of the current market ones are giving royal headaches lately).Regardless the above seems to have fixed things now (my issue isn't the same however similar, samba shares over network as a mapped drive).

I am running Norton 360 for AV. I have updated my NIC drivers and this morning I rebooted for the first time. I have not removed my mapped drives and have not BSOD for over an hour. So far so good, keeping my fingers crossed. Will post if there are any changes.-Steven Perry
