Windows 7: BSOD, part 2

badkarma11 · 17 Jan 2011

I thought I was out of the woods and then the darned 'puter started spitting out BSODs again. Dump attached.

Did I mention that after 23 years of PC problems, I'm finally getting really, um, upset?

Phooey

Dumps blames memory corruption, test your RAM
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Code:

BugCheck 4E, {99, bc1c, 0, bd5c}

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiBadShareCount+4c )

OK, I'll give it a try
Did the dump complain about an old wireless network driver (Atheros)? This was mentioned to me by CarlTR6.

No, the wireless drivers are fine

Code:

ctac32k.sys        fffff880`0668f000    fffff880`0673d000    0x000ae000    0x486b3e7e    02/07/2008 12:38:22

Creative Audio Driver. Creative Worldwide Support

Code:

       
dne64x.sys        fffff880`045d1000    fffff880`045fd000    0x0002c000    0x4918d964    11/11/2008 05:01:24

The dne64x.sys (Deterministic Network Enhancer) driver may be a component of a VPN client such as Cisco VPN. Remove such software

Ahh Crud. I need the Cisco VPN client to log in to work. I guess I'll install that on another machine. We'll see how memtest goes, all the RAM is brand new. if I get errors, could reseating the RAM correct it?

If any errors are reported you should replace the faulty modules

OK, thanks. I will report my findings when complete.

Do at least 7 passes with memtest

badkarma11 · 19 Jan 2011

I removed the VPN software and have had a stable system since. When the BDOD appears, it will reboot an unattended system. I bailed on the VPN last night and I have not crashed since. Close the thread, if something else happens I'll open a new one. Thank you yowanvista
