pls help,thank you.The 2 occurances of your bluescreens point to a usb hub software/hardware installed and a wireless adapter/driver problem. Might wanna check this first by reinstalling or look for updated wireless driver and removing the hub from the system. Quote

Hi.
well followed yer instructions but today it happened again and now i didn't
even get a BLUE screen just plain blank direct shutdown, when i clicked the power button it didn't power up and then i turned off the switch on psu
and turned it on immediately and computer started.
I received three following events in event log of windows somewhat similar to before and all marked red in color some critical and some error.

here are the following events that were noted under event log when this unexpected shutdown happened.

Pls help,tnx.You should start with eliminating the possibility of bad RAM. The symptom you are describing is often caused when part of one of the sticks of RAM is bad so the computer runs fine until you hit the bad sectors in that stick. Pull out one stick at a time and if it crashes faster switch to the other stick, if it stops crashing you have your solution. Otherwise it may likely be a bad graphics card.Have you disconnected the usb hub as suggested above?Quote from: Allan on November 06, 2012, 05:49:37 AM
Have you disconnected the usb hub as suggested above?

i have usb 2.0 wifi, it is used for gaming and browsing on web, so the usb is constantly plugged in due to it being required constantly

ok i ll try it..but 1 thing i wud like to mention that i used memtest..which runs when window runs (not that mem..86++), i ran multiple instances of it- alloting equivalent of
6.5 GB ram and rest 1.5 was being used by system..so it ran fine, nothing came out

so i ll try yer method as well.

The Hub is your issue as both culprits point to it...
It can either be a software...or hardware issue but thats what it's narrowed down to.
Remove the Hub device via Device Manager and re-boot...you will be prompted to re-install the drivers on startup...insert the driver CD that came with it and run setup...
If this produces no joy-joy then the hub itself is failing and should be replaced....Quote from: patio on November 06, 2012, 01:42:02 PM

i have tried installing and unistalling different versions of this usb 2.0 wifi but especially during online gaming it has happened.

also today again i used my pc to test run standalone game "gta4" and it ran fine with no unexpected shutdown but after that 8hours of test run i started playing online game using that usb wifi it happened within an hour.

so i guess its the usb 2.0 hardware or software which is the culprit here but still i ll lookout for more standalone game test runs and online games test runs using usb wifi to give it 1more try..

Another thing i need help is..that this tp link usb wifi 2.0 i bought this online..so now whom should i return the device the online replacement or to the company service centers..and also what proof or explanation i can give to them to let them assure that its the hardware or software for this product which is failing?

pls help,ty.Remove completely the device and try wired first for a couple of days and check if bluescreen still appears. Are you sure there is not any overheating problem also?
Download Speccy and then install the program. To post and publish a snapshot of your PC.
. In the Menu bar, click File -> Publish Snapshot

Your latest minidumps for bluescreens is on C:Windows\minidump
Right-click the last 2 minidumps and paste it on your desktop.
Right-click again the copied minidump(s) and Send to -> compressed(zipped folder)
Upload it here https://www.box.com/ by registering and then copy/paste from the link this file on your next reply.There is little else we can do for you until you remove the usb hub.
