Shutdown Crash
few days ago, computer refused to shutdown, ie it just sat there saying "shutting down" and stayed there, i left it overnight, thinking it was just being a little slow, and in the morning it had restarted presumably following BSOD,
Iv attached the minidump, but WhoCrashed gave me this result:
Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.
On Wed 20/01/2010 02:07:16 your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe
Bugcheck code: 0x1000009F (0x4, 0x258, 0xFFFFFA80021E5040, 0xFFFFF80000B9C510)
Error: Unknown
Dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\012010-13790-01.dmp
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect, possibly the culprit may be another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.
Conclusion
1 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
I think i have isolated the problem to Vmware Workstation and since i uninstalled it the problem seems to have gone away, this seems to have been a one off, but any further help would be appreciated
