This is a pretty recent install w/ current ServicePacks and major windows update security patches. Nothing out of the ordinary. It will just lock up, then shut down and reboot. Here is one of the dump's ran through windbg.exe. I struggled with windbg.exe trying to load the symbol files, but I finally got it. I just don't know how to interpit this log and figure out what the problem is. Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.3.0017.0 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

The exception code was 0xC0000005, which almost any C programmer can tell you is an Access Violation exception. Parameter 1 of an access violation exception is the type of access (0 = read) and parameter 2 is the address that the code tried to access. The code that faulted was somewhere near the implementation of the NtWaitForMultipleObjects function in the NTOSKRNL.EXE module - possibly in the function itself. I'd be surprised if it was a bug in NtWait[...] because this path is very regularly exercised. I suspect that some component of this system is failing - probably the RAM. If you've overclocked the machine, set it to the correct speed. Check all cooling devices are working correctly. Ensure none of the boards are damaged. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder Re: Can you read this MiniDump? Tim Deveaux8-Jul-04 9:51 Tim Deveaux 8-Jul-04 9:51  Mike has a good point - but if it is the RAM, CPU, or CPU fan that's failing, there's a good chance that each dump you analyze will show a different location and/or bugcheck codes. If the dumps are consistent, I'd do some further digging and/or start speculating on drivers and such. Again as Mike mentioned, it's unlikely that NtWaitForMultipleObjects is the real culprit. Looks like you're going to have to dig a little deeper into the dump to find the problem. This initial analysis isn't giving you the stack trace you need, which I think is a result of trapping into the exception dispatcher. Here's a doc that might be helpful: http://www.wd-3.com/archive/registercontext.htm[^] You may need more than a mini dump to work with - not sure. If you've got the time, you might try using WinDbg on a remote machine. I'm pretty sure that you would break into the debugger before the bugcheck call in response to a first chance exception, which might give you a better context to work with. Re: Can you read this MiniDump? Anonymous8-Jul-04 11:01 Anonymous 8-Jul-04 11:01  Wow, thank you very much for the responses. I've though about it more and here is some additional information to possibly filter out or confirm any theories. Here is the reasons from other dumps from the series of crashes: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace. Arguments: Arg1: f000e2d9, memory referenced Arg2: 00000002, IRQL Arg3: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation Arg4: 8042d37c, address which referenced memory PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except, it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory. Arguments: Arg1: e3522097, memory referenced. Arg2: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation. Arg3: bcfb127c, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address. Arg4: 00000001, (reserved) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace. Arguments: Arg1: 00000028, memory referenced Arg2: 00000002, IRQL Arg3: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation Arg4: bd525f25, address which referenced memory I doubt it is overheating. I don't overclock and I monitor my chipset, CPU, power, and case fans. I also keep the case open 24/7. There's been no recent hardware or driver changes in the system. I am actually on day 2 without a crash now. But it went down about 6 times earlier this week. This also happened about 2 months ago and then magically started working fine. Is it possible for the ntorkrnl.exe to be corrupt? I dunno. When it crashes, sometimes I'd be playing a game, sometimes web browsing. One time it crashed while I was trying to log off of windows the exact second I clicked "OK". I would try debugging on a remote machine, my all my other computers are either some kind of unix or linux. -Mike Re: Can you read this MiniDump? Tim Deveaux8-Jul-04 13:08 Tim Deveaux 8-Jul-04 13:08  I would think that the dumps for these should reference some kind of .sys file, not ntoskrnl.exe - that would help. Sure looks wonky though. Anonymous wrote: Is it possible for the ntorkrnl.exe to be corrupt? Anythings possible - you can actually update your ntoskrnl.exe and HAL files directly from the install disk if you like - there are usually checked and free versions for single and multiple CPUs available (hmmm - actually, I think the checked one is multi cpu). Google for 'partially checked' etc for instructions. It is possible for a reeely bad driver to produce seemingly random BSODs - I know - I've done it! But its hard to shake the hardware idea in this case - do these crashes repeat with the same data? Will ponder till morning. Keep us posted! Re: Can you read this MiniDump? Mike Dimmick9-Jul-04 5:26 Mike Dimmick 9-Jul-04 5:26  Anonymous wrote: I also keep the case open 24/7. Don't. Airflow is typically better if you assemble the case properly. If it still gets too hot, you need an exhaust fan in the box and reasonable airflow in the room - if you put the back of the system too close to the wall, the hot air has nowhere to go and simply gets sucked straight back into the system. Cooling systems work best with a low ambient temperature. My P4 2.8GHz system has the normal PSU fan, CPU fan and a fan on the graphics card, but it also has a smallish 8cm fan in the front of the case and a 12cm fan in the back. All those fans are quite noisy, which is why I used a case which comes with a large amount of acoustic wadding (from QuietPC.com[^]). The fans mostly came from QuietPC as well, but five fans still make quite a bit of noise. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder Re: Can you read this MiniDump?

Re: Can you read this MiniDump? Roger Wright9-Jul-04 17:31 Roger Wright 9-Jul-04 17:31  See Win32 Error Codes[^] for clues. For one thing, Win32 Error 2 indicates that a file could not be found. Secondly, a driver fault is indicated. The line: "WARNING: Frame IP not in any known module. Following frames may be wrong. 0006f540 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0x77f833c0" Indicates that the Instruction pointer is referencing a memory address that Windows doesn't recognize as being in use, hence the data there is probably invalid. Executing it will most likely cause a serious failure. I suspect that a driver has become corrupted; isolating it will be a tedious process. Boot in Step-by-Step Confirmation mode and disable all driver loading except the basics - disk controller, keyboard, mouse, video, etc. If the failure happens on this load, you may have a motherboard or firmware (BIOS) problem. If the problem doesn't recur, boot again and enable loading of a few drivers, then wait for a failure. If none occurs, reboot again and add a few more drivers to the allowed set, repeating this procedure until a failure happens. Go back a step and enable the most recent group of enabled drivers one at a time to determine which one causes the failure. Replace that driver from the original media or with an updated version compatible with your OS version. You might also have a version conflict among the many dlls used by Windows, but the error logs don't look like that's the problem this time. Running SFC from the Start/Run menu may reveal something useful.

Mike Dimmick5-Jul-04 13:03 Mike Dimmick 5-Jul-04 13:03  This news article[^] from April says that Microsoft will be working on Windows 2000 SP5 once XP SP2 is released (although there's probably quite a bit of parallel running). An interview with Bob Muglia[^] confirms what will be in SP5. Extended support continues until 2010 - see the Lifecycle Support Policy FAQ[^]: "Extended support includes all paid support options and security-related hotfix support that is provided at no charge. Hotfix support that is not security-related requires a separate extended hotfix support contract to be purchased within 90 days after mainstream support ends. Microsoft will not accept requests for warranty support, design changes, or new features during the extended support phase." Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder Problem using yahoo with outlook express or outlook Mekong River3-Jul-04 6:53 Mekong River 3-Jul-04 6:53  Hi, i have a problem with my outlook express and outlook. I create new account for an e-mail system, i choose POP3/SMTP account type from the screen wizard. I type my user name and password. I also type pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com for POP and SMTP. But when I connect to get an e-mail the machine is asking me many time to fill the information about user name and password. Does anyone know about this problem?

The first one C:(active partition) contains Windows 2000. Now i wish to move this OS to the second partition D: and make my computer boot from this partition. Is it possible? If so, how should i go about doing it? <font=arial>Weiye Chen When pursuing your dreams, don't forget to enjoy your life... Re: Moving OS between partitions Roger Wright1-Jul-04 5:36 Roger Wright 1-Jul-04 5:36  You'll have to reinstall Windows, and repartition the drive to make D: the primary partition. Extended partitions can be renamed, but not the boot partition. It gets really interesting on multiple drive systems - mine, for instance, boots to drive J: because of the peculiar arrangement of primary and extended partitions I had on the existing drives before I reinstalled Windows. Why do you want to make this move? Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.
