DAZ CMS login -> BSOD (Solved)
Hi,
Did anyone had this kind of problem?
5-7s after login to new CMS through DAZ studio Smart Content page then the system will BSOD
Noticed also network connection number is rising fast until BSOD and most of them was from DAZ studio.

edit:
I will test dropping daz process priority. Usually I do this when I start to render

What security software (particularly what firewall) are you using?
Antivirus and firewall is Bitdefender.
I have done quick check for ram and boot files with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
I just tried that priority drop but it wasn't any help. Same bsod.
Edit:
I just tested computer with f-secure online scanner and it didn't find anything.
One of the google searches you posted had this

looks like bitdefender has been causing this for many people.
An easy way to test this is to uninstall bitdefender and see if the problem persists.
Yeah...the two things I come up with are drivers and antivirus programs causing it...with a distant 3rd being malware infestations.
I just run with driver verify for next bsod and bitdefender was cause. I think I will install f-secure for test.
I also noticed that DAZ Studio was doing massive number of connections before bsod to ip 108.166.36.110 but no data transfers.
Offtopic:
I changed to bitdefender because mcafee crashed unity compile process.
Thats a Rackspace IP, so it's probably part of the CDN.
The whois report shows Daz as the customer for that IP , so yeah, I'm going with CDN.

Good.
After installing f-secure the first test was ok.
Need to do Unity tests that it wasn't effected.
Edit:
Recommend to activate driver verifier tool if you have continuous bsod and it first points to windows own files. It consume litle more cpu when it doing all selected test to selected drivers. Also remeber to disable it after cause is found.
