This is my first post ever on any forum. Ive been in the computer realm for awhile but have been absolutely stumped by this problem. My computer continually crashes with the uses of multimedia software such as slysoft and dvd shrink. Ive installed all the new updates for all of my hardware and am wondering as of what i should do next. ive run windows memory diagnostic and with no avail it came back as no problems. This problem occurs in both 32 and 64 bit operating systems and mainly when i start these dvd ripping programs. I usually get a Memory_Managment BSOD but occasionally get Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been an on going problem for 4-5 months now.
Vista 32 and 64 crashes w/multimedia software like

Please put your System Specs in your Profile
If you have a proprietory computer like Dell; HP; Acer etc, please manually write this in the mobo field (ie Dell Dimension 3100 - as an example)

I would have preferred that you had just updated your Profile, as now I and any others, will need to check your above message all the time.
This is your motherboard's driver page: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N-E SLI
Obviously confirm all your drivers are updated.
But, I believe this error may be BIOS revision related (regarding your CPU)
Please confirm, that you have the most updated BIOS revision, released 2008/02/20
BIOS updating is very critical, you will need to 100% verify, that this is your motherboard and BIOS file, before flashing.
Recommendation:
Update all drivers and chipsets - test
Update BIOS - confirm M/B - test

Well digging around on my pc i found out that i have a p5n32-e sli and not the originally p5n-e sli. My bios are updated with version 1403 which is most recent. I ran memtest last night for 12 hrs and it turned up nothing so im kind of wondering if that rules out a hardware issue? The ram timings are 4-4-4-12. I had a stick go bad a few months ago but i hace pulled it and am now running on 3 gigs. I have also attatched my 5 most recent minidumps.
well the system was built in august and ran fine. my cmos chip went out in october and that took a stick of ram with it. So when i reset the cmos i also reformated the computer and that is when it started. so its been an on going problem since than. so once we know what the minidumps are how do we fix it? i got another bsod when i used slysoft. it ran the first time but the second time (second dvd) it bsod. where do i go from here?
Yes i am running trend and it is the 2008 version. I thought trend was supposed to have a very small foot print? I will uninstall and give that a try. To be honest i wasnt running trend before so that might be the problem. So is everyone of the minidumps that i posted caused by a differnt problem? This is the one area in OS's where i get confused.
Well this is the thing about MiniDumps, there never exactly this or that.
ie in this case they point to memory corruption (ie your Ram) BUT sometimes it's not exactly the physical ram at fault, but actually a driver accessing the Ram.
Seeming Trend Pc-Cillin 2008 accesses lots of your Ram, this would be the favourite choice, and one driver from Trend is also noted. tmtdi.sys
Now thankfully Trend has an Exit option (from right clicking on the tray icon)
But because of its big system resource, if I had it, I'd probably remove it.
But...
If you still get errors, then you will need to do a memtest (7 Passes) to confirm your Ram is OK.
After that we might even check your Video card memory (or drivers)
And even get as low as the BIOS !
So it's never definate.

Ok I ran CCleaner and am now running Slysoft software so lets hope this works. In the time being do you know anything about servers? I want to host an FTP for my frat so that we can post our study file online for easier access. I have a Dell Poweredge 2650 server and a Power Vault 2200.
Well things were running fine until i tried to run Counter-Strike and got another BSOD! Why am I getting all of these? This one was a Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal. What does that mean and why this now? Slysoft was running fine up unitil that and than bam another BSOD. I attatched the minidump for you.
Will do. Slysoft seems to be working now. I hope it stays that way. But back to the server thing, how do you open a port for game servers? Im running windows server 2003. What virus software should I run in place of Trend and Spysweeper? As much as I like AVG I feel that there is better stuff out there. Why do you think that Trend was crashing my computer and what did all the other things in the dump mean? Im sorry for asking so many questions but I just want to know what is going on with my computer.
Server 2003 ! God's sake, now you stepped up a notch.
Well firstly do all the security updates for one.
As for an Antivirus for Server, Hmm, I agree AVG may be a little on the home user side. I'd recommend Kaspersky Internet Security (I really like that one!)
The MiniDumps, I've answered already (that's it!)
The port number
This is a question for Jobeard (as security concerns come to mind)
Please PM him, he's better than me
