like the title I get a BSOD when running defrag. When i analyzed my disk it said that it was 4% fragmented so i ran the defrag and up popped my BSOD. I am switching to a ne HDD tomorow so i can see if that stops these BSODs from happening, but for now i am wondering what is causing the BSOD.

    The download is special compared to all others there and actually for your type, it includes an automatic setup file.

    Just run setup.exe in the extracted folder from the link.
