I am getting daily (sometimes 2 or 3 times daily) random reboots on my
system and it is getting really frustrating.
The DumpSave report each time says something like:
I used DUMPCHK.EXE to expand the minidump file produced but can't work out
how to stop the problem. I have reproduced the output below.
The things I have tried so far are:
* Looked up the STOP code on MSKB and there are two entries both related to
resuming from hibernation. I do not use hibernation so that can't be the
problem.
* The output below suggests that the sound system may be involved in the
problem as KMIXER, DRMKAUD, SPLITTER and DMUSIC are all part of the MS
Kernel for the audio system. I have uninstalled all my audio drivers and
reinstalled from scratch - they are Audigy ZS2 Platinum Pro drivers. I also
have a Hauppauge TV tuner installed which has audio drivers. Finally I have
SoundTaxi which converts ausdio files (but uses some driver technology to do
its job).
* Unlocker is part of a utility that allows files in use to be unlocked when
required (it is a user action so no automated unlocking of files). I have
uninstalled this and left it off my system for a while but it didn't make
any difference so I have now reinstalled it as i find it very useful.
* I have uninstalled and reinstalled all my motherboard and graphics card
drivers.
* I have removed a second USB disc drive (mentioned in another thread) and
that has removed the probelms with drive page errors appearing in my system
logs.
* I have run stress tests on my system which worked flawlessly for hours at
a time (I used nVidia's system stability test and while it was running I
used 4 different AV packages to play DVDs, Video and multiple audio files,
surfed the internet, scanned, printed images etc)
* I have run DOS based utilites to test memory and other onboard hardwear -
no problems were shown up.
Note apart from the SaveDump entry and other entires during recovery from
the STOP condition there are no other errors appearing my system logs. All
my hardware/software seems to work normally and 95% of the time I can do
anything I want with the system without problems.
Any help would be really appreciated
TIA
