    I honestly do not think this is a driver error. For one thing, most of your drivers are several years old. The only updates have been to minor components by Windows Update.

    Nor do I think as a gut instinct this is faulty RAM.

    I think you are looking at a new motherboard.

    At the least for now, take the case apart, remove all adapter boards, and thoroughly clean everything. All heatsinks, fan cases, adapter slots, everything.

    Re-assemble.

    But I strongly suspect a failing motherboard. This can be anything from leaking capacitors to just about any component.

    If you have additional Dumps stored, please try another recent one and post the results back.

    After doing a Google search I am wondering the same thing. I am going to see if I can find any bulging or leaking capacitors.

    My board is an MSI MS-6738. At one time MSI was having problems with bad capacitors.

    Thanks for your help Bill. :)

    I'll post more reports if possible.

    Followup note...

    If I have a failing board...Why are most of my problems associated with hibernation/ standby/ coldstart issues? I rarely see a BSOD after the desktop appears.

    (Wished my 500th post would have been for an easier problem, lol.)

    One indication of a pure hardware issue would be the fact that it works relatively okay when warm, and terribly when cold.

    So at the moment your danger periods would be: cold start, hibernation start, or stand-by start.

    A hardware issue such as bad capacitors could easily work this way. As could other pure hardware issues. One thing that you can be certain of is that the failures will become increasingly more common over time. Cold or Warm.

    Your debug log does not suggest a driver issue, or bad RAM.

    You might ping Forum member cpc2004 for a second, and quite frankly, more experienced opinion.

    Hi James,

    Your debug report shows that the crash is caused by CPU_CALL_ERROR. Usually it is caused by faulty Motherboard, video card or CPU. I have 4 cases relating to m/b, 1 case is related to video card and 1 case is related to CPU. You had better check the motherboard.

    Another Log...

    This seems to be driver related...

    (I could have sworn that I posted this report earlier :confused: )

    DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
    caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
    verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
    the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000004, memory referenced
    Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    Arg4: 8054ae34, address which referenced memory

    Again, I do not see a driver error.

    Note this similarity to your first dump:

    Dump #1:
    LAST_CONTROL_TRANSFER: from 8059270f to 7f8aa2c5

    Dump #2:
    LAST_CONTROL_TRANSFER: from 80568995 to 8054ae34

    This suggests to me that anytime the memory addressing lines are used for the segment containing 805xxxxx, things go haywire.

    Well, ok Bill...You know more about this area of computing than I do. I was just concerned that maybe there were two problems to take care of.

    So then this part below is not directly related to a driver fault, but is one of the possible symptoms of hardware failure?

    DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
    caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
    verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
    the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 00000004, memory referenced
    Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
    Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    Arg4: 8054ae34, address which referenced memory

    I know it is the use of the word DRIVER that bothers you. You have to take this with a grain of salt.

    No driver appears in the db stack. What appears is nt! which is the kernel. Essentially the complaint is that a process (winlogon.exe) attempted to do a read running at IRQL 0 and ignoring the thread dispatcher at IRQL 2. Now winlogon.exe is not a driver to start with. Nor does it have any particular need if it wanted to read from the pagefile not to ask the THREAD SCHEDULER at IRQL2 to issue a new thread for the read.

    Without an identified driver, we cannot use Driver Verifier. So the only choice left is to enable special pools and look at all the crashes that will occur and hope a driver name is revealed.

    First, lets make sure virtual memory is sound.
    Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced.
    Click Virtual Memory.
    Select Custom size, and set the Min to 0, and the Max to 0
    Click Set.
    Click OK.

    Reboot. Now it might complain, but that is fine.
    Repeat the steps in the Virtual Memory page, but restore your original settings.
    Click Set.
    Click OK.
    Reboot again.

    Try just those steps for a few days or until it BSODs again. Submit the debugging session for the new DUMP. Then we will enable Special Pools with some registry changes.
