Cause of BSOD X3B System_Service_Exception?
I was doing some pretty serious multitasking when I received the above mentioned BSOD, and I'm curious what the cause could be.
From what I'm reading ("0x0000003b" Stop error when the memory usage of memory-mapped file is high in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2), it sounds like it was due to very high RAM usage, but that is really just an educated guess and I'd definitely appreciate other opinions.
What Happened: I was web browsing with Comodo Icedragon (a Firefox variant) within a sandbox, downloading a torrent into the sandbox, and had a word doc open. RAM useage was 98%, CPU peak useage ~30% (The browser and antivirus can be system hogs).
The browser page went to black, the screen flashed, and several messages popped up. 1 was detailing over a dozen errors Sandboxie encountered. The other mentioned something about NVBackend not responding, and an issue with nvapi.dll (sp?) within Windows. Thinking it was BS about an app hang, I payed little attention and closed the window. I then noticed that Windows had switched from aero to basic. Realtemp then popped up. It was the wrong size (DPI), and told me the CPU was at 130F. Then the PC got the BSOD.
BSOD Details (from Bluescreenview):
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b
Parameter 1 00000000`c0000044
Parameter 2 fffff800`02eae7fc
Parameter 3 fffff880`09a8f150
Parameter 4 00000000`00000000
Caused by Driver ntoskrnl.exe
Caused by Address ntoskrnl.exe+75bc0
Other Details: A fresh install was done recently (~2 weeks ago) after a total wipe of the HDD via write zeros. This is the first BSOD on the new installation.
The OS is up to date, as is the antivirus (Comodo) and the GPU. Other drivers are not up to date, as I cannot find any updates on Intel's site, though IOBit Driver Booster swears there are quite a few available. Realtek and LAN/ethernet drivers are not updated; they couldn't be bothered to create a list of changes in the new driver, so I was unconvinced there would be any benefit.
The PC would seem to be virus free. I ran a full scan with Comodo, Malwarebytes, TDSS Killer, Spybot, and Superantispyware.
The system is overclocked but appears stable. RAM is at XMP (I have overclocked it in the past on a previous OS install, and found no benefit). No RAM errors found when running Memtest 12hours, Aida, and P95. CPU is at 4.5ghz and passes Aida/P95/OCCT stress tests. GPU passed Heaven, MetroLL bench, 3DMark, Aida, OCCT, EVGA OCScanner, and gaming (been playing Saints Row IV and Rage without issue). Specs should be in my profile, but I can post them if it is helpful.
Temps are pretty good. ~80F idle CPU, ~90F GPU. 160F peak load temperatures for both when gaming. HDD temp never exceeds 95F. VRMS/MOBO/other temps seem normal.
Probably unrelated, but I moved the location of Sandboxie's Default sandbox from partition C to A about an hour before the BSOD.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
