Steam downlands cause my PC to crash

[nurr]

I recently noticed my PC was slowing the ♥♥♥♥ down, it crashed every time I used steam, I recenlty set it up knowing that it was about to crash to test some stuff and noticed this, just before it crashed and I got BSOD, the Drive and Network activity decayed slowly. I have re downloaded my network drivers and nothing like this happens when I download a torrent etc. Anyone had this before? I have tried some commands thinking it was my HDD asuch as chkdsk /x /r /f but that has proven to me my HDD isn't the problem.

Her si a pic of the steam donwload just before it crashes, you can see my mouse ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up:

What is the BSOD code?

Can you post the BSOD error here or link a picture of it?

"unexpected store exception" Was the initial error that came up as it froze, I know its probably to do with my HHD, but this only happens when I download from steam, Just played 4 games of League of Legends, no issues, even downloaded it today and had no problems.

Downloaded a couple of torrents to make sure, both were 4GB+ and had no issues.

I will make it crash now, and take a pic of the error screen. It will only start to trip my computer out after a solid 10 mins of downloading.

most likely a drive issue

start -> computer -> right click on your hdd/ssd with steam library -> properties -> tools tab -> error checking [check now] -> tick both boxes [check now]
reboot and wait for it to finish checking the drives

Its just weird how this only happens with regards to Steam downloads

[Hail Hail]

have you tried limiting the download speed ??

Would that cause my PC to BSOD?

Get a copy of HDTune Pro and run a full error scan on your disk.

what i am asking is do you have 'enough free hard disk drive space' needed for the download to continue.

Out of space doesn't cause a kernel crash.

Either something in kernel space (ring 0) is crashing taking down the kernel with it, or hardware is failing (again, causing a software crash in ring 0).

User space (ring 3) doesn't crash the kernel, that is why we like things in user space. Your apps genereally sit in user space (ring 3) on Windows/Intel and drivers sit in kernel space (ring 0).
