    Ntoskrnl.exe 0d1 and 01a BSOD Windows 7 (64bit)


    I've occassionally be getting BSOD (either 01a or 0d1) but these are happening more frequently and I know something is wrong. I have attached my logs from SF_Diagnostic_Tool.exe to this post, as well as a screenshot from WhoCrashed, BlueScreenView, CPUZ and Intel Driver Update Utility. From research, this seems to be a driver issue, and related to networking or my Internet connection. Not always but often, ntoskrnl.exe is mentioned on the BSOD.

    I have updated my USB wireless dongle drivers, my onboard NIC too, as well as running The Intel® Driver Update Utility and Windows Update. I have also uninstalled Networx (which is known to cause this problem) and I've ran a full chkdsk and used the memory diagnostic program in Windows.

    Usually I am web browsing or using an Adobe application like Lightroom or Photoshop but this has happened when I have been gaming too.

    Any ideas?

    In addition to using the memory diagnostic in windows; i would download, and run memtest86; and run several passes through that to double check to make sure there are no errors. Below is the link to that:

    Thanks Matts, I just ran memtest86 via a USB drive and it found hundreds of errors within 30 seconds of the test starting. I removed RAM sticks one by one and ran memtest for 2 minutes each time. I kept doing this until the errors stopped appearing and I have narrowed it down to a 1 faulty RAM stick (I have 4). When I put this 'faulty' stick in, the errors always occur, and when I remove it, I don't get any errors. I know I haven't ran the test for 7 passes and I'll do this tonight but I am pretty sure I have the culprit here!

    You need to insert that RAM stick into another DIMM slot to check that the error isn't in the motherboard.

    For reference, you need to be running MemTest86+ from this site:
    Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

    Always run a for a minimum of 8 passes - short runs are not reliable enough to trap errors.

    I have inserted another RAM stick into the DIMM slot where the faulty ram was located, no error. I also inserted the faulty RAM into another DIMM slot and it gives an error but with it removed, it doesn't give an error. Ill run it overnight or at least 8 passes.

    Good. Dont forget to use 86+....not the other one. 86+ is the industry standard for testing RAM.....anything else is sub-standard.

    I am using 86+ and wasn't aware there were other versions, beside the one built into Windows.
