BSOD Closing a Chrome Window Driver IRQ..?

[Logun]

I missed the full error message and this will be my first DMP foray so your help in helping me learn how to read and dissect this will be appreciated.

FW on the SSD's are updated to 2.15 and at that time I did a complete reinstall of Windows 7 too (Feb 20th)

Since that install I've added the sound card and so I've disabled the onboard sound.

I've also discovered and replaced a bad stick of RAM

Currently am RMA'ing the monitor as there are issues with powering it on.

The actions before the BSOD tonight were:
opened Chrome - 27 tabs
NCIX.com was one of those tabs - clicked Buy Now
"My Cart" popped up
ended postal code to check delivery cost
clicked the 'X' to close the pop up and then CRASH

No idea how to read a DMP file, so I'm stuck....

Your DMPs list Symantec...
Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

In addition to JMH suggestions please run a system file check to verify the OS files.

Thanks a couple questions:

1) how did you read the DMP file and what in it pointed to Norton?
2) any suggestions on how to "test" if it was Norton? I don't believe a recreation of the event would trigger a BSOD everytime (although I suppose I can test that first and see)

Will do a scan as well and see if it turns anything up. Thanks again!

1- The DMP file is read using a tool called win DeBugger. It is the gold standard for DMP analysis. It has a steep learning curve and requires 5-15 gigabytes of additional software.

2- You can "test" Norton by removing it. If the crashes stop it was Norton, if not you can always re-install it,

Logun,
You came here seeking advice re your BSOD.
The advice given was to remove Symantec AT LEAST TO TEST.
Is that such an onerous task?
Up to you to decide if you want to follow said advice..... or not!

Sorry I wasn't trying to put down the advice given I was legitimately asking if there was a known way to test this out. This BSOD was one of two that I can recall which happened when closing out a Chrome browser, but I've closed a lot of browser windows in between and after the BSOD. (So why this time and not the others?)

So I was thinking this would be hard to test if I cannot recreate the event.

I will check out that tool too. Thanks! will help me out a lot if I can read these DMP files on my own.

System File Checker - found no integrity violations so thats good. Just need to remove Norton and install MSE and be done

Cheers!

If you are going to try windbg, make sure you download the symbols for the OS you want to examine.

Most (if not all) BSOD's are caused by a mulitude of events.

Usually it is a combination of files interacting that finally causes the crash.

You can install an application (for example) and have it interact with one you installed 6 months ago and have them both cause the crash.
