BSOD 0x7f Error

[abrauta]

Hi,

I keep getting the BSoD practically all the time. MY system is

MSI KT6 DELTA-FISR
AMD Athlon XP3200+ 2.2 GHZ
2 x DDR-DIMM PC3200 512 MB Memory (DDR-PC400MHz)
PowerColor Radeon 9200 256 MB DDR PCI
Cooler Master CPU (up to AMD 3200+)
WD Caviar 160 GB SATA Hard Drvie
Samsung 17" LCD Syncmaster

Here is the most resent minidump. I can see that it is related to ntoskrnl.exe, but I keep getting the 0x0000007F (0x0000008,0x80042000,0x00000000,0x00000000) error message in the BSoD (Device driver error). I did try stability tests on all my hardware, so I believe it is a driver error, possibly the graphics or video adapter. I can't figure out much from the minidump though. Can you please help?

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP_M (1000007f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
use .trap on that value
Else
.trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
(on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000008, EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT
Arg2: 80042000
Arg3: 00000000
Arg4: 00000000

You do not provide the entire debug report and it is very difficult to find out the root cause. Attach the minidump or the entire debug report.

dumpfiles

hi,

this is my most resent dumpfile. thanks for helping.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

You should have bumped this thread, rather than starting a new thread.

Thread bumped and other thread deleted.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

Since I don't get any answers to my posts, here are 3 of my most resent dump files. Please tell me if you need any more information.

 

[howard_hopkinso]

All 3 of your latest minidumps are corrupt and unreadable. This can be caused by faulty ram.

Go HERE and follow the instructions. See if that reveals the culprit. Also see this tutorial for using Memtest.

Regards Howard

thanks for letting me know, but what do you mean by corrupted? Are you unable to read them or are they incomplete? please let me know what to do and which dump files you want me to attach. I have the system recovery settings set to full memory dump.

I also noticed from the dump files that my problem seems to be related to the ntoskrnl.sys file, but what does that mean? And how can I possibly fix this?

thanks again for helping me out, I have had this problem for years, and I resently reinstalled windows xp pro, but the problem is still there. When only windows is installed, the bsod appears only now and then, but as I install more and more programs and drivers, the bsod appears more frequently, and now I can hardly do anything before the machine dies. Maybe it also is related to some kind of memory, even though I did run memtest and various stability programs on all my hardware?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

what do you mean by corrupted?

I mean they won`t open at all.

I have the system recovery settings set to full memory dump.

You should change the system recovery settings to small memory dump(64k).

What were the results of Memtest86+?

At the moment, I think your problem is related to faulty hardware, either faulty Ram/psu/mobo.

Regards Howard
