Hi,
I've never, EVER, in my whole life experienced any kind of BSOD in XP(sounds crazy I know), but lately I've got 4 of them in the last 2 weeks. So naturaly, I'm really iritated right about now.
The first one was caused by tdi.sys and after lots of googling, I downloaded the debugging tool and opened my first ever minidump. Again after a lot of googling, on one forum it was advised that I change the tdi.sys located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers
with the one from:
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
I did and that BSOD didn't happen again. I was soooo happy.
Few hours later I was greeted by another BSOD and after opening the minidump it said it was caused by afd.sys. That file caused my latest 3 BSODs. What does it do and can I update it somehow?
Before my latest BSOD I disabled the automatic restart so I can see if the BSOD itself gives any more information. Here's what it said:
BAD_POOL_CALLER and below 0x000000C2 (0x00000007, 0x00000CD4, 0x000001AE, 0x89472EEC)
After some more googling I found out that 0x000000C2 is cause mainly by corrupted drivers or something.
After each BSOD, after rebooting, XP starts and works normally.
I ran memtest and chkdsk and everything was fine. Any other ideas? Please see minidumps attached.
Edit; oh running SP3 here.
