    BSODs - ntoskrnl.exe


    My computer has periods where it crashes with a BSOD over and over again. This lasts for a day or more then it decides to go back to functioning properly. They always seem to be related to ntoskrnl.exe.

    I've tried working out what the problem with no success, which is why I came here. Another thing I've noticed is that my computer doesn't make a .dmp file every time. Today I have had about five BSODs but there are only two .dmp files.

    If someone who knows what they are doing could have a look at these .dmp files, it would be much appreciated.

    Hello Kungal,
    I was having the same error some months ago. Did you install a new program ?If yes try doing a system restore or reinststall windows using a windows 7 cd.

    Since no probable cause is being indicated enable driver verifier to locate the possible drivers causing the BSODs
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
    Then upload the dumps which are created

    I've enabled driver verifier. How long does this normally take?? Do I use use my computer as usual and wait for another BSOD??

    Use it normally until it BSODs :)

    Ok, It BSODed about two hours after I turned driver verifier on, then It crashed again about ten minutes after that. The .dmp files are attached

    The windows debugging program says one is due to tcpip.sys and the other is probably due to memory_coruption

    Dumps indicate that services.exe was involved in the last crash
    Disable any useless startup programs and run a scan of Malwarebytes

    BugCheck A, {28, 2, 0, fffff800032c7518}
    
    Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiFindNodeOrParent+0 )
    
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000028, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 0000000000000000, bitfield :
        bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
        bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
    Arg4: fffff800032c7518, address which referenced memory

    Done, no malicious software found, and I have disabled almost every start up app. My reply is a bit late because, I went to work all day and, most importantly, I just spent the last two hours unable to do anything because of almost continuous BSODs!!

    None of them left a minidump file, which is weird. They kept occurring in the startup process, and every time I had to run startup recovery which would restore my computer to an earlier point in time and take about 10 - 15 mins.

    Any other advice?

    Thanks
