I know its new so I came to ask if anyone else has had an instance where DWM.exe just crashed completely and the internet stopped working untill you rebooted? It struck me as weird but i did a virus scan last night and got nothing wrong with my laptop. It seems to have no issues besides that one thing happening a little while ago. It was a first also. The service crashed and i couldnt restart it.

Edit: ok now my pc randomly BSOD just now. This is starting to make me think i got some huge virus. It said something about page file in a non page file area when it was dumping in the BSOD.

I don't know about the exact symptoms, but a family member had a laptop with a hard drive that had bad sectors, led to some processes crashing/random BSODs before not starting at all. Hard drive being replaced fixed it all.
If it's really bad, try reformatting first.

Unless you managed to contract some hilariously evil rootkit, I'd say it's more than likely RAM.

Run memtest86+ overnight or equally as long.

I think it was just a fluke. It hasnt happened since. Yesterday was a really bad day. My car battery died in pouring rain, and all sorts of shit. I used a memtest that worked while windows was on testing the unused ram and it came up clean after 2 hours of testing. I been running games for the past 14+ hours afk or otherwise and all good. The only thing I had a problem with since was trying to instal GOMplayer which has a compatibility issue with windows 7/vista causing BSOD.

My computer only crashed once since I installed Win7, but I did have instances where my computer kept losing connection to the internet.

I updated my network drivers and it works again.
