I have another XP desktop which crashes about 50% of the time after bootup. It boots up, goes through the motions, loads desktop and drivers and then crashes at random points before i get control to run programs.

I have ran windebug and this is part of output:

Probably caused by : ntoskrnl.exe ( nt!KiTrap0E+233 )...
IMAGE_NAME: ntoskrnl.exe
DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP: 41108004
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0xD1_nt!KiTrap0E+233
BUCKET_ID: 0xD1_nt!KiTrap0E+233

As I said, this only happens abaout 50% of the time and only if I login as administrator. If I login as another user, it does not crash.

OS system problem.

Go to
Start and then to Run
Type in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /
Click Enter ...It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note... there are 5 stages...
It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS
This can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixes the problem

I went ahead and did an intensive virus scan using different software. I have zonealarm installed on system. However, I used Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware as suggested on this site. This found hundreds of more malware and other bugs which were removed. There were a few that it said that would be removed on re-boot but they are still there. I will have to deal with them manually I guess.

What all this has done is to stop the machine crashing and I am not getting BSOD now. Unfortunately if I try to run RootkitRevealer, it crashes with BSOD for some reason.

So the machine is running ok but there are still some bugs lurking the background; will deal with them either manually or using other virusscans.

btw one of the dumpfiles had the following text relating to a rootkit. I am not sure what it means but it has not shown up on a rootkit scans I have done.

I suggest you go to the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post the reguested logs in THAT forum. If you are unable to run any of the tools then start a new topic in the malware forum and put this in the subject line...I am unable to run any malware tools

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
