 > Hey BSODers!
 > Report your processor and graphics controller.

 I'm running Kaspersky 2012 and did have blue screen two times after
 installation. However, since two weeks ago I haven't had any issues. I
 cannot say for sure my BSOD was from Kasperskay and TBB issue. This is the
 first I have read about this issue with Tor.

 That said, when the BSODs happened, I had this on-board graphics card and
 processor:

 Intel i5-2300 2.3 GHz
 Intel HD graphics (is that what you requested?)

 After I upgraded my graphics card (to an EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti) I haven't
 seen any BSODs, however: Post hoc ergo propter hoc ;-)

 (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1)
