Okay, around Novermber last year I started getting BSODs while using Firefox (after a recent update). At this point I had been using the computer with very few problems since July 2010. After asking for help on another forum, I still couldn't fix it. In the end I just stopped using Firefox and everything was back to normal until 3 days ago when it crashed again. The first crash was some "Unexpected Kernel Mode Crash", but the one I had just about 20 minutes ago was "Memory Management" which was the cause of the 10 or so crashes I had last year. It seems to suggest that ntkrnlpa.exe is the culprit, but I know that's not the case. The only thing I've done recently was upgrade my anti-virus (Kaspersky) to the 2013 version.

I should also mention that I haven't had any problems since the last crash.

[rockmilk]

Well there are a few things that can be done you could start by uninstalling.

Advanced SystemCare 4 (Version: 4.1.0) Useless
Java™ 6 Update 29 (Version: 6.0.290) Outdated
Java™ 7 Update 4 (Version: 7.0.40) Outdated
Yahoo! Search Protection Useless

Your hosts file is empty lets fix that.

Open an elevated command prompt then copy and paste the following one at a time hitting enter after each.

cd C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

takeown /a /f hosts

cacls hosts /p everyone:f

Reply Y Then copy and paste the text below hitting enter after.

attrib -s -h -r hosts

Close the command prompt window.

Go here and run the fix it for the hosts file,as admin.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

After the fix it runs then reboot,the hosts file should be restored to original.

The blueScreen seems to have been related to.
Google chrome but we would need more than one dump file to be able to compare.

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll do the above and tell you how it goes.

Edit: I've done everything you said.Now I'll just have to wait and see if it crashes again.

I recently dealt with the exact same issue uninstall chrome and re-install it.

You will want to keep your bookmarks I am sure this link will show you how.

Go to the site below with chrome and see if you can reproduce the bluescreen.

[Hardwarenewbie]

Thanks. It seems that my browser was outdated anyway.

Not sure what I'm supposed to do with the second site, but it didn't crash when I ran the test (result is 2650).

[rockmilk]

You need to update to service pack one.

This is the file you need.

Okay, but I have a bad history with Windows Updates.

Do I need to do anything after updating?

I was having you run that to stress chrome a bit it is what I used to make the other machine I mentioned bluescreen,yours did not so that is a good sign.

[rockmilk]

Okay, but I have a bad history with Windows Updates.

Well I suggest that you just do the service pack at least.

[rockmilk]

Do I need to do anything after updating?

As in?


Keep your temp files clean I suggest that you run CCleaner But watch out for anything extra like a toolbar that may come with it also do not ever run the registry cleaner function of it other than the registry cleaner of CCleaner it is a solid program it also gives you the ability to manage your start-up programs and you can also set it to run when your machine starts and you will not have to worry about cleaning your machines temp files again it is done automatically for you.

Here is a couple of things that you can run on your machine to keep it running smooth.This forum does not allow me to give you instructions for there use in other words do not post the logs these programs are for your personal use.

I can tell you to run them updated once a month at least.
Ther is no need to update the eset scanner just disable it prior to running it.

Just wanted to know if there was anything more to install or run.

I'll keep the rest in mind. Thanks a lot.

Hopefully, now it won't crash for a while at least.
