OK first a explanation of what this is saying.

» FltMgr.sys is a system file used by Windows to help control various aspects of hard drives & files. It is officially called the "Microsoft Filesystem Filter Manager" and its main duty in the operating system is make sure that the data written to the hard drive is correct and not corrupted.

The fltmgr.sys error is caused when Windows cannot read or process files that are on the hard drive, hard drives will stop working and the blue screen appears.The fltmgr.sys blue screen error is a serious Windows OS error that can cause a PC to deteriorate over time. Hard drive failure and a system crash will usually result, with subsequent data loss. The error refers to the File system Filter Manager of the Windows operating system, which is responsible for arranging and locating files on the hard drive. When this important file becomes corrupt, the system is not able to read and process files on the hard drive and data may get lost as a result.

The cause of the fltmgr.sys errors are mainly about the file being corrupted or unreadable. If the file is corrupted, you will receive this error continuously…. But the most common cause of this error is the File System Manager failing to load properly, a simple restart of your PC will fix the problem. This will clear the system's RAM and provide another chance for it to boot up cleanly. If this doesn't occur, carry on to checking all Hardware and hard drives for normal connection.



Have you installed any new hardware or software just prior to this starting?

my mom said all has been working fine. today it almost booted (just stopped short of the hp advisor thing) and rebooted to the screen for my choice of safe modes or normal start). i went to safe mode then restarted i with no problems. also, last time i scanned with driver max, it claimed all drivers were up to date, today a usb mass storage device and realtek high definition audio showed out of date. under windows, minidump.. there have been no issues since oct 22.

Some drivers will show up at different times and it is normal. I am glad everything seems to be working good for you. Let me know if you are ready to mark this topic as resolved.

0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware failures are the most common.


Try this and lets see if it finds any more info on the exact cause.

Download WhoCrashed from the link in my signature below
This program checks for any drivers which may have been causing your computer to crash....

Click on the file you just downloaded and run it.

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

ntkrpamp.exe

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
