I have a 109gb rar file on another pc which I am trying to pass it over to mine through ethernet, but I get a BSOD after a while of it copying. I am not sure why this is happening I need some help.
Here is the minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/?kwwfl0g01d82u1g

Also on a sidenote: I just fresh installed windows on this pc yesterday.

Specs:
Windows 7 64bit
Core2Duo e8400 3ghz
Radeon HD 5570 1GB
4gb DDR3 ram
300gb WD Hard Drive

Never dealt with that specific make / model of machine so I can't say if it's a problem specific in that regards.

The setting you mention refers to how the BIOS is going to treat your hard drives attached to the SATA ports. For full SATA feature availability you would normally set the ports to AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). Legacy can be used with older drives or operating systems that are not compatible with the newer SATA features.

You would really only want to set your SATA mode to RAID or legacy if you specifically needed support for one or the other.

The caveat to changing that particular BIOS setting is, if you installed Windows without it being set to AHCI, Windows will by default, not load any AHCI drivers, which...

I posted the dmp file. Sorry I was updating the thread because I forgot to post additional information.
EDIT: It said something about IRQL Not less or equal, I don't remember I think it was that.

What should I test my ram with? Do you recommend any programs? Also it only and I mean only happens when I do the file transfer. I can be playing a demanding game like Euro truck sim 2 for 2 hours and my PC is still running fine. Im guessing it has to be the hard drive?

My PC passed the memtest. Could it be a missing driver or maye I need to do a windows update? Usually I wouldn't struggle so much to resolve an issue, but this one really stumped me. :??:

Sidenote: If this helps, the 5570, core2duo, and hard drive were all brought over from another computer I had lying around. (Yes I fresh installed windows)

That was quick. I would highly suggest running the memory test overnight, or a good 5 - 10 hours before concluding there are no edge case errors.

Have you not yet installed the Windows updates? I would do that before considering the OS installation finished.

On another note, you might run a disk check including the surface scan on your hard disk to see if possibly it is generating errors. Perhaps the drive is pooping out during the transfer? Loose or old gen 1 SATA cabling attached to the drive?

I will run the tests tonight, but before I do that I am going to do any updates if any then retry transfering files if updates helped fix problem. My computer is a Optiplex 780 MT if it helps any. Also in the Bios settings theres a setting for Raid Autodetect/AHCI, Raid Autodetect/ATA, Raid on, and Legacy. It has it set to Raid Autodetect/ATA. Is it set up right, I don't really know what all that means?

The caveat to changing that particular BIOS setting is, if you installed Windows without it being set to AHCI, Windows will by default, not load any AHCI drivers, which causes a BSOD to occur when attempting to boot Windows using AHCI later on. It's really something that is supposed to be set before the installation of Windows.

If the setting was not AHCI when you installed Windows but you wish to enable it now, you can either download a Microsoft Fix It or follow the manual instructions on the download page to direct Windows to load the AHCI driver on subsequent boot-ups. After you have run the fix it, you can select AHCI mode in BIOS and Windows should boot without error.

I think what fixed the problem was switching to AHCI, I ran the fix it and changed the BIOS settings. After changing the BIOS settings I started to transfer the file and no BSODs :D . Thanks so much for helping me with this, saved me alot of headaches.
