BSOD. Any clues please?
I occasionally get this BSOD. I'd be grateful if anyone can analyse it on my behalf.
I use this PC almost exclusively for MS Flight Simulator and suspect it may be caused by a buggy sound driver (though wouldn't swear to it). I get a loud, rapid-fire, 'road drill'-like sound through the speakers whilst the BSOD is up. The PC runs Win7 x64, full retail version. I haven't reinstalled the OS in the last 18 months - which is about the age of the PC.
I have a utility installed called 'Who Crashed', which reports:
On Thu 07/06/2012 05:06:02 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\060712-13993-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7F1C0)
Bugcheck code: 0xC5 (0xC593C30, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF800033B69BC)
Error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that the system attempted to access invalid memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.
Anyway, thanks for any help. Report attached.
