BSOD Method and Tips

I see you already went quickly to work on this. Thanks Patrick! Btw, the reason I didn't add the DRT under databases is because I already assumed that if you're on this site, you know about the DRTs! Though for outsiders linking to the article I reckon that won't work so well. Thanks for...

BSOD

It could be caused by an application that's touching incorrect memory by attempting to null out a stride of an array, but the most common case I've seen of memory stride corruption involving nulls would be problems with the RAM itself. I don't know the mechanics behind it - perhaps a stride was...

BSOD

Do a memtest, as one of them pops up a corrupted stride of memory in the NT module image.

[Question] Possible XOR a Singly Linked List?

The XOR in this case is a common used assembly shortcut for zeroing a register, as it will zero any similarities between source and destination. Most CPU architectures perform this faster than pushing a zero value onto the register. You will see this kind of behavior in a lot of functions. I'm...

[QUESTION] Page States and Numbers

Sorry mate, couldn't tell you. However, the states for the page may be more like valid, modified, etc., and not the states you're thinking of, which are virtual memory states, not physical memory states.

High DPC Latency

You can tell it's the avast! Firewall NDIS filter service driver. You were getting thrown off by misinterpreting the Actual Duration column in the output. That column only tells you the entire cumulated time for that specific driver during the logging. So what it's just telling you was that...

BSOD that is out of my knowledge range - 0x101

There's no definitive amount of time that can be determined as to how long your CPU will last with this issue. If you can manage how it is now, the best thing you can do is try and make the CPU as "comfortable" as possible: temperature reduction and underclocking. The higher the speed and temps...

BSOD and Freezing on Windows 7

Sorry, I looked at the name of the driver too quick. It's your NIC drivers, not your wifi, so your network controller drivers on your mobo needs updating, as well as anything else on the mobo. Pardon!

BSOD and Freezing on Windows 7

Update your wifi drivers, as it's 3+ years old and was tagged as the possible cause for this crash. If that doesn't work, update your AVG as well as any firewall software you may have, as AV and firewall software filter drivers can cause problems if they have bugs in em. You may need to...

BSOD Method and Tips

That's where I found out about this thing, myself! @Niemiro: There's actually one thing of interest. I've noticed that the purpose of the !dpx command is to consolidate output of dps, dpu, dpa and dpp commands. Yet I did notice in particular in one occasion where I used it once, skimmed...

BSOD Method and Tips

Bump. Added !procdumpext to list of Windbg extensions in Links O' Plenty. This thing is a beast. The !dpx command alone is a great seller. Next time you decide you want to dump the raw stack of a thread, use !dpx instead of dps. Sorry, niemiro: your extension for dumping raw stacks has served...

Latency Issues (Windows 7)

Symantec still appears enabled, as Symantec Management Client as well as all other services and applications are running at the time of this log. I'll look into the log further, but I still think something should be done about Symantec for now.

[SOLVED] Typical Cached Memory

I understand where you're getting at, and where I don't think it's entirely accurate I do believe it's a viable position on the topic. I won't debate further on the matter. Pardon for letting it get to that point.
