I`d tend to recommend uninstalling the drivers, and removing the hardware.

I`d also recommend that you check your ram as well.

Look HERE for instructions on testing your ram.

well, my minidumps from a few months back (examined by cpc2004) seemed very indicative of faulty RAM. not long ago, i bought brand new Corsair XMS ram, fully compatible with my board. it seems highly unlikely that it would be two pairs of faulty ram...

i'm lost, but am trying to remove one thing at a time.

well, i removed two PCI cards and went crash free for a long time. i put one in and all was well, gave it a day, put my Wireless LAN card in and finally got a BSOD. so i'm not entirely sure which is causing it yet, but i'm close!!! :giddy:

can someone please tell me if this new minidump also crashes with a bug check of 8E referencing the driver ntkrnlpa.exe? then i would know it's the same hardware causing it and not some new or different problem.

Your minidump crashes with a bugcheck of 50, and pool_ corruption.

0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

well, i was running a virus scan when it crashed...time will tell when and if i see it again.

at least i know it's not the same problem i had before! thanks!!!
