    Please help to interpret this BSOD


    I was surfing on several tabs on IE8 when the PC froze. Symptoms of this before it happens will be the PC running heavily out of a sudden with noise as if there is a motor engine revving up and then it will hang. Can someone kindly help me ID what was causing it? Attached minidump file below and thanks in advance for the help.

    CPU: P4 3.06
    Video: ATI HD3850 agp
    2GB memory
    OS: W7 Ultimate 32bit

    additional info: no overclocking, ran memtest86 for 24hrs with no errors

    Hello and Welcome to SF !

    We need the complete logs Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

    Based on the crash dump you attached it's pointing to Windows Kernel which may not be the problem. Lets start with basics

    Run a Hardware Diagnostic !! « Captain Debugger follow this thread

    Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    You have sptd.sys which is notorious for BSOD. Use this article and remove the driver DuplexSecure - FAQ

    Update the following Drivers:

    Code:
    smwdm.sys    Mon Mar 28 19:49:36 2005
    LVUSBSta.sys Sat May 12 05:10:49 2007
    e100b325.sys Sat Nov 17 00:23:32 2007
    Use this guide for more help Driver Troubleshooting !! « Captain Debugger

    Bugcheck:

    Code:
    KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
    This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
    the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
    as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
    Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
    coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
    /NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
    hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
    If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
    system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
    happening.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
    Arg2: 82549343, The address that the exception occurred at
    Arg3: 80ebdc38, Trap Frame
    Arg4: 00000000
