BSOD on Wake: ntoskrnl.exe SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b
Hi everyone,
I found this forum by googling "BSOD after sleep". I've lurked for about a week trying to solve my problem by reading other similar posts. Though I've followed a lot of the steps I've seen here, nothing seems to be clearing up my BSODs.
I've attached the appropriate zip file, and I've filled out a lot of the relevant information about my system in my profile.
BSOD behavior: every BSOD comes when I wake the computer from sleep, but they don't come every time I wake it. Specifically, I have my case's power button set to S3 standby in the BIOS. I use the button it to send to standby and to wake it up.
The 8 BSODs are 7 SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b, with one KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x0000001e. 6 mention nsoskrnl.exe, 2 mention ks.sys.
Related(?) behavior: I've been having trouble with my wireless adapter, a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band N900 PCIE. When I first installed it (including the drivers and network management software), it was fine. It picked up both of our router's bands. Lately it hasn't been working well. Often upon reboot, it isn't recognized by Windows or it doesn't see both bands, etc. Often Steam starts in offline mode because it thinks there's no connection.
Steps already taken:
- updated wireless adapter drivers (though the install behaves as if they were already up-to-date)
- updated MB and graphics card drivers
- updated SSD firmware as needed (1 of the 3 SSDs I have wasn't current)
- ran MemTest86 for 8 passes: no errors
- updated BIOS
Other info: I recently imaged my boot drive from one (smaller) SSD to another (larger) one. There were a few hiccups but I don't remember the specifics. I sorted those out and never got a BSOD though (the system ran smoothly for several weeks until about a week ago). More recently I installed a new heatsink for the CPU, added an OCZ SSD that I got from a friend, and I migrated my Steam games installs from an old Raptor to the OCZ SSD.
Thanks for taking any time to look at this, and of course any help is greatly appreciated. If there's anything I've excluded, please let me know.
