hp was really fast, they let me ship the box without the hard drive, they tested it with their hardrive instead

they reproduced the problem, say it's the motherboard, replaced, sent off, I put the original hardrive back in, booted quick and I'm off and running

let's see if the motherboard was the cause of the problem or a victim of the problem

damn it, two bsod's last nite.

not the motherboard, obviously...gonna wait for a few more, see if they want to use the dump file to debug

my new box, a gateway with 3 gigs memory is doing fine, lightening quick and hasn't had a stability issue once so it's definately some hardware on this hp
 
Re: got my box back

If you want to post the dump I will look at it as I have all of the debugging tools installed.

well, been doing some research and supposedly if I try to access the dump file vista won't copy it and if I wait too long it will delete the file

anybody try copying the dump file in vista yet?

also, if someone could post the path for me to enter into run I'd appreciate it

looks like this is the file, let me know if you can open it

That zip only contains a shortcut to the dmp file.

What vista is this?

RTM or with SP1 RC and 32 or 64 bit

Need to know as they use different symbols.

all I see in "about" is vista home premium version 6, it's 32 bit, came on the box preinstalled

gonna try to get that dump file again, be right back

like an idiot I sent the dump to the desktop without realizing I was creating a shortcut instead of a copy, it wouldn't copy manually but I dragged it over and I believe this is it, give it a shot

Re: got my box back

Without posting the complete output, here is what the dump said may be the reason for the fault.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT

Probably caused by : bcmwl6.sys

Quick search came up with that being a wireless network adapter driver.

hey, guess what?

I only seam to get these bsod's at home, I wonder if there is some kind of conflict with my 802 and this adapter, it is odd I only seem to get the blue screens home

interesting
 
Re: got my box back

Not sure but at least you now have what the dump says may be the reason. If you get another BSOD and post the dump I will debug then see if it points to the same driver.

Any driver updates that you know of?

Edit: This same laptop is ok at other places?

Was just reading an article about a BSOD in a laptop with the dump file pointing to the bcmwl6.sys driver. After trying driver updates that failed to solve the problem the guy replaced the wireless router and the BSOD never happened again. Seems strange to me though that a router could cause this.

gonna check tomorrow, thanx again
 
Re: got my box back

See my edit.
see if the article says which router it is

seems strange to me also and here's the funny thing, I got these bsod's in a certain spot more often then other spots in the house

maybe a frequency resonance thing I'm thinking
 
Re: got my box back

seems like you may have to splash the cash on a new router:

wouldn't mind but i'd read great things about d-link routers as my old belkin wireless router overheated and went bust last week :(

no laughing in the back rows please! it may have been a belkin but it served me well for years, hasnt put me off saving up for this one:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
