Probably caused by : Wdf01000.sys ( Wdf01000!FxRequestBase::ValidateTarget+21 )

Usual causes:  Memory corruption, Hardware (memory in particular), Overclocking failure, Installing a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or a failure after installing it, 3rd party firewall, Device drivers, SCSI/network/BIOS updates needed, Improperly seated cards, Incompatible storage devices, Overclocking, Virus scanner, Backup tool, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack

Follow these steps -

Memory:

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Run Memtest86+ for least 9-10 passes, and preferably overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

Scan for any missing, modified or corrupted protected Windows files with:

Thanks for the reply.

I will run the tests as mentioned in your post and will get back to you once done.

I was wondering if you would share the command that tells the "probably caused by" in windbg.exe as i was unable to get that information with "lm/lmD" command.:banghead:

It's produced when you load the Minidump into the debugger, however to get the basic output of the Minidump then you could use:

!analyze -v

You could always read this sub-forum too:

Hi,

sfc /scannow command showed that everything was fine with system integrity.

For Memtest86+, I followed the instructions that were there in that tutorial. The pen drive isn't becoming bootable(I think). When I start my computer and boot from the 'Removable media', it doesn't detect the pen drive and goes on booting from the HDD.

What to do now?

Have you accessed the BIOS, and then changed the Boot Priority list, with the USB stick/drive being at the top of the list?

 

[lamerboger]

I didn't change the priority because while booting, there is a facility in my laptop that when I press F12, it opens the boot options and from there I can select HDD or CD/DVD drive or Pen Drive.

I have been selecting the device from there whenever I wanted to format my system and has worked fine every time which is why I inferred that the utility might not be making it bootable.

Enter the BIOS, and change the boot priority sequence.
