Here's my first post in GTG: )
I've trawled through many articles on this subject here, and thought I had almost found a solution to my problem after reading: http://www.geekstogo...ys-problemhelp/
What got me confused was how a conclusion was reached on that above thread that said:
"Posted 05 May 2009 - 05:11 AM, All errors come from KmxFilter.sys, which is a part of CA Internet Security. Do you have it installed?"
I tried debugging my own dump files based on the above assumption but couldn't, and even tried to understand how the dump files provided in that example led to this conclusion. Same end result :/ (obviously because my problem is different!)
Incidentally, I don't have CA Internet Security installed (I have Norton IS), so the other solution provided, (running devmgmt.msc / device manager), bears no fruit, and I even checked it anyway and couldn't find anything to do with finding those drivers that suggested as being the cause the problem on that thread: "KMXFW, KMXCFG and KMXCV".
My BSOD files (below) suggested that the same faults were occuring on my laptop that were occuring in the thread posters' computer, namely tcpip.sys. Also making an a regular appearance on mine are "ntkrnlpa.exe", "ntoskrnl.exe" and "IDSvix86.sys"
Anyway, that thread goes on to say:
"tcpip.sys is likely to be showing because the CA program is attempting to connect to the internet. Because it's corrupted it's attempting to send bad signals (either to tcpip.sys or through it), which confuses tcpip.sys. This confusion is what causes tcpip.sys to crash." So I kinda realise that tcpip.sys is the flag of the problem, but I haven’t got the faintest idea what's causing it..
Things I did so far to try to solve this problem:
..checked updated / my DRIVERS and checked my RAM too:
> I ran the Intel® Driver Update Utility: http://www.intel.com.../support/detect
..and anything that flagged up as being in need of update, was updated. and it hasn't stopped BSOD's. Here's the results from that test and how they look now..
Graphics Driver
Product Detected - Intel® GM965
Current Driver Installed - 7.15.10.1666
Your driver is current.
Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF)
Product Detected - "Intel® 6, 5, 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets"
Current Version Installed - 8.2.0
This version is valid.
Audio Driver for Intel Desktop Board
Product Detected - Realtek High Definition Audio
Current Driver Installed - 6.0.1.6526
This device is unknown or unsupported. Please contact the manufacturer for possible updates. More information>>
Wireless Networking (WiFi)
Product Detected - Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Current Driver Installed – 13.4.0.139
This device is unknown or unsupported. Please contact the manufacturer for possible updates. More information>>
*I actually updated the previous one (3945ABG) via device manager; then manually via http://downloadcente...re Applications and downloaded “Intel PROSet/Wireless Drivers for Windows Vista 32-Bit” and I am wondering, since it was suggested elsewhere on some other site, what is the benefit of me doing this??! I have no idea.. The version listed shows 14.3.0.6, but when I check the same driver details under device manager, is shows version 13.4.0.139 dated 7/10/2010..
Wired Networking
Product Detected - Intel® Desktop Board D945GCPE: Realtek* RTL8101E-GR Ethernet
Current Driver Installed - 6.243.1025.2010
Your driver is current.
> RAM Test / checks were carried out via Windows Vista Memory Diagnostic Tool: http://www.howtogeek...iagnostic-tool/ - no faults found..
I am aware of memtest86+, but haven’t yet resorted to using it, based on the previous tests resulting in no faults: http://www.geekstogo...sing-memtest86/
Other things I did recently that might be worth knowing..
> I deleted all other drivers that were installed but no longer in use, to ensure that there was nothing in conflict: http://www.petri.co....nd-windows7.htm
> Recently installed "Realtek High Definition Audio" drivers: (http://www.realtek.c...on Audio Codecs because I had not control over the audio EQ output via Windows Vista HP when streaming music in Firefox: ) - I am not convinced this is related.
> Some time ago, and at least 6 months ago, I followed the proxy pipelining process for making firefox faster (allegedly
..i.e pipelining, proxy.pipelining, maxrequests, initialpaint.delay etc, and I had no problem whatsoever. This is the last thing I can think of that may be worth knowing.Anyway, here are my BSOD text files..
