BSOD on Hibernate/standby from ntoskrnl.exe

slomic said:

Sometimes when going into hibernation or standby, my computer will take a very long time (~5 min) to shut off. When I then resume, the bios selection screen will inform me that the computer shut down abnormally. Upon login to my desktop, a message will come up informing me that the computer succumbed to a fatal error and blue screened.

This happens often in streaks of two to three times in a row, then not occurring for about ten times.

According to the minidump, the probable culprit is ntoskrnl.exe. As far as my googling has informed me, this is a fairly integral part of the OS which poses some problems.

I would appreciate any suggestions of help on this issue.

Thanks much.

Hello Mike !! Welcome to SF !!

I believe the problem is with Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet NDIS6.x i.e. b57nd60a.sys driver. I would recommend to uninstall the Drivers completely and reinstall it. Please don't use Windows Update to download the Drivers. Download it from here Broadcom.com - NetXtreme II 1 Gigabit Drivers
