First BSOD on vista

Status
Not open for further replies.
I just had my first BSOD on my laptop after turning it on once in weeks. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary (was mostly idling). Can someone help me track down the reason why the system crashed? Attached is my minidump file. I also attempted to try to find out what caused it, but could not understand a single text =(.

Here are a few lines that I kind of understood:

I suspect it's a driver problem, but then I have no idea which driver is causing it. Thanks
 
You have a 0xC2 error which are generally caused by Buggy Software or Bad Device Drivers. The MiniDump cites a massive amount of Drivers its 1 of the Worst Problems I have ever seen, I seems as if every program is just clashing with each other.

The best I can suggest is you remove Daemon Tools that seems to be mentioned quite a lot in the Drivers other programs of note in there are Zonealarm, Super Anti-Spyware and SCSI devices which don't seem to be taking a liking at all to what is installed.

If uninstalling Daemon Tools doesn't work then I would suggest you back up your Data and prepare for a Format and Reinstall Of Windows, because it doesn't even look like it is worth debugging it would take a lot of program uninstalling to find the cause I'm Afraid, if you want you can unistall every program apart from Security Software which I think is Reacting because it doesn't like some software.

Also this is how my debug is showing did it show the same for you?
It wasn't even at the end of debugging properly that was 5 mins of debugging.

That was basically what I got on my debug as well, I thought I did something wrong to get so many symbol errors. Anyway I am getting a bunch of errors messages on the window management window and they're mostly coming from Avira AV. If I do a format and install the exact same software that I currently have, would that produce the same problem? I use all of my programs.

Forgot to mention, I don't have ZoneAlarm O.o
 
It would probably produce the same problem if you just format and reinstalled all programs.

But you could try uninstalling Avira AV and then use something like AVG or Avast. If this doesn't solve the problem then Back-Up your Data and Format and Reinstall the OS, then install 1 program at a time and run the comp for a few hours and continue doing this till you get the problems again, then you would know the last software you installed is the 1 or possibly 1 of the Programs that is causing trouble.

Could you also tell me what programs you currently have installed?
 
I cannot replicate the first bsod that I got. The bsod happened so randomly that I was not able to isolate the reason. This is a new laptop so I have only a few programs that I use on my desktop.
They are:
Avira
CCleaner
CCCP
Firefox
Daemon
Foxit Reader
HD Tune
AIM
Media monkey
Mirc
RM Clock
Spybot
Steam
Super Antispyware
Winamp
a-squared anti-malware

The system is running just fine and shows no visible sign of any programs conflicting with each other. I would like to fix this issue since I do not want another random bsod if I am doing something important.
 
Since It took me 5 minutes to get what I listed above I didn't see that what kimsland has listed. Although I would say you don't need 2 Anti-Spyware programs (Spybot S&D and Super AntiSpyware), I would say you should uninstall 1 of them but see if kimsland agrees or not.

I have Zonealarm, AVG and Spybot S&D, I've had them for about 2 years and never had a Malware Problem at all, you would probably only need 1 of each. The only other programs are CCleaner, SpywareBlaster and Malwarebytes, which don't run all the time.

Also will see if clearing the Sound and Graphics drivers will work, I wouldn't have thought Drivers would cause that problem but will see it might teach me something. The Driver kimsland listed is a Windows Kernel Driver by the way.
 
You must wait for the MiniDump to finish being analyzed
Sometimes it looks as though it has stopped, then the analyse continues
Large amounts of color should be avoided too

I believe the fault is Driver related
 
Quick Response

Yeah I always wait for it to finish debugging but it took 5 mins for that to appear and it froze I think because it stopped at that point for quite a bit, I think my ISP booted me off at the time so the Debugger Disconnected when I lost the Internet connection. I use the Online File Paths (should have mentioned that).
 
I always thought the more anti-spyware the better =P. But anyway I'll see what I can do about the driver issue. Thanks
