Windows crashes 4-5 times a day due to ntkrnlpa.exe


These were all caused by a device driver. From your explanation of the wifi problem I might suspect that. I would download and install a fresh driver for the wifi and run a system file check to verify and repair your system files

to run a system file check type cmd>right click and run as admin >sfc /scannow (not the space between sfc and "/")

Also your video driver is almost three years old and needs to be updated.

If you are overclocking STOP
If you have a raid update its driver

Let us know if you need help with any of this

Hi -

I would add these 2 to the drivers that need updating list -
Code:
[FONT=lucida console]netw5v32.sys Thu Mar 26 12:10:37 2009 (49CBA8FD) - Intel wifi[/FONT]
[FONT=lucida console]Rt86win7.sys Fri May 22 10:52:05 2009 (4A16BC15) - Realtek Ethernet[/FONT]

Intel --> Intel® Driver Update Utility for Intel® wireless adapters - Check for the latest driver

Realtek --> Realtek

Also, you have either Norton Internet Security or N360 installed -- remove it w/ the Norton Removal tool. Download NRT to desktop. RIGHT-click, select "Run as Administrator. Re-boot upon completion to allow the removal of boot and kernel mode drivers.

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

Install MSE --> http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Finally - but really a primary issue - you do not have any Windows Updates installed that I can see based on the date of the DirectX Graphics Kernel. After removal of NIS/ N360 - check Windows Updates -

www.update.microsoft.com

Validate your OS --> www.microsoft.com/genuine

Hi Guys,

Hi -

The bugchecks on the last 2 dumps -

0x9f (0x3,,,) - driver in an inconsistant power state and is blocking an IRP for too long a time.

I am finding the same drivers as were found in prior dumps. They need to be updated.

I am also now getting symbol errors - meaning that the Microsoft MSDL SYM site used to obtain symbol files to identify Microsoft OS drivers is unable to ID the NT Kernel in your Windows system.

Run the System File Checker/ Repair utility -
START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | right-click on cmd.exe | select run as Administrator | type the following:
Code:
[FONT=lucida console]sfc /scannow[/FONT]
Upon completion re-boot to allow files in use to be repaired.

SFC general info - How to repair the operating system and how to restore the operating system configuration to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista

SFC & the CBS log - How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista

Validate your Windows OS installation at the Microsoft Genuine Advantage site.

WGA --> www.microsoft.com/genuine

If the above steps do not remedy the problem, I would suggest that you contact Microsoft Corporation directly an put a ticket in -
Windows 7 Solution Center

Without the symbol files to properly identify the Microsoft drivers, processing the dumps can be futile.

Regards. . .

Dear jcgriff2,

I uploaded above report after running the sfc / scannow..and have also formatted couple of times.....I use below specification Laptop whcih came with Vista operating system and as per HP website they don't have updated drives for product.
However all vista drivers work fine in Windows 7 and device driver don't show any incomplete driver.Wonder wt can be the problem is the problem that the USB wirless drive I use to connect to Internet...gets heated up and goes for a toss...

Dear jcgriff2,

I uploaded above report after running the sfc / scannow..and have also formatted couple of times.....I use below specification Laptop whcih came with Vista operating system and as per HP website they don't have updated drives for product.
However all vista drivers work fine in Windows 7 and device driver don't show any incomplete driver.Wonder wt can be the problem is the problem that the USB wirless drive I use to connect to Internet...gets heated up and goes for a toss...

HP Pavilion DV6767TX

The Windows 7 Upgrade advisor & the driver report in your prior posts lists the wifi as Intel 4965 AGN - not 3945 ABG. Are you sure you have the correct model #? Look on bottom of laptop.

The Realtek PCIe FE may be RTL 8101 --> Realtek

The rimmptsk.sys & related drivers are Ricoh. They come from HP as do the HPxxxx.sys drivers.

I don't see anything at the Huawei site for driver downloads, either --> Huawei-a world-leading telecom solutions provider

The same driver is used for both, but the hardware itself is different.

What does Device Manager say?
