    Have a computer that keeps giving the lady using it a BSOD here where I work. First time I've ever really dug through mini dump files, but so far so good.........I guess. Basically I have three recent mini dump files that I've run through windows debugging tool and this is what I get:

    02/06/08 Probably caused by : memory_corruption (nt!MiDeleteValidAddress+4e)

    02/05/08 Probably caused by : ntkrnlpa.exe (nt!ExAcquireFastMutexUnsafe+0)

    02/01/08 Probably caused by : SSFS0BB9.SYS (SSFS0BB9+293c)

    I've searched over tons of forums and still can't seem to find what it is I need to do to fix these issues. I don't know what the Stop message was, and the lady didn't either. I can upload the whole mini dump if anyone needs it. If you could help me out, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    #1 is associated with memory
    #2 is associated with video drivers
    #3 is associated with audio drivers

    You didn't give us the machine specs, but I would do all the usual tuneups. how uptodate is the .net and the directx?

    Thanks for your response studiot. The .net framework is at version 2.0 and it has .net framework service pack 1 installed. The directx is 9c. The machine is updated every Wednesday night like all our other workstations with updates we've tested and approved. I'm gonna try running memtest on it either today or tomorrow morning. After I got to thinking about it, I'm pretty sure it's the memory itself that is bad and the errors are coming from whatever is stored in RAM at the time the failure occurs. What do you think?

    Memory is certainly the prime suspect when different assorted errors keep occuring, rather than the same one repeated.

    No2 is usb attached devices.

    No3 is bad capacitors.

    No4 is overheating.

    thar ya go.
