BSOD after finishing useless processes
I use WhoCrashed and got an error about ntoskrnl.exe and then athrx.sys:
This is not the first that i had. It's probably the 7th. it started today at 1:00PM (13:00 here in Europe) and all happened today (of course...). I noticed that almost all of them happened after i ended some processes i didnt needed running because i was going to defragment after that.On Sat 23-06-2012 20:21:45 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\062312-26535-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7F190)
Bugcheck code: 0x1E (0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.
I also checked my C: drice with chkdsk and performed a memory diagnostic and both were fine.
