Tell us more about when this began and whether you have tried a System Restore to correct it?

Can you start at all in Safe Mode or Last Known Good configuration?

This is a "generic" page of references for the error type:

http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x7f

If you can start the system at all, I can run a debugging utility on the dump files if you do this:

1 > create a new folder on the desktop and call it "dumpcheck" or whatever you like
2 > navigate to c:\windows\minidump and copy the last few minidump files to that folder. *this assumes 'c' is your boot drive, if it is not, subsitute accordingly
3 > close the folder and right click on it and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.
4 > use the "manage attachments" in the "advanced" reply window to upload that zip file here as an attachment.

This might point us to a non Microsoft driver causing the error, if one exists for it.

-------------------------------------

Also if you can access the "repair" mode in Vista you can try a startup repair, system restore, and also run the memory checker >>

Hi again.

What I remember is that I'm scanning my computer with my antivirus software. My antivirus is a NOD32 2.70.39.

I'll be sending the minidump files to you here. The .zip contains 2 files. My problem is in the first dump file.

Well, I'm just being lazy to search in the site, anyway, what is IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL? I believe that is the second dump file, since I just got it recently while I was shutting down the system.

Please reply with any useful info.

I will be also submitting four(4) dump files I received yesterday, June 2. Four blue screens appeared on my system yesterday. Please look into the dump files and send back useful information.

***Attached files:
1. Minidump.zip (June 3)
2. Minidump060209 (June 2)

The faulting module, when identified is a core system memory manager. This usually means the fault is either hardware related, or something that can access low level protected memory, such as an Antivirus or other security programs such as file and folder hiders or encryptors.

One dump simply references "memory corruption", which has causes similar to the above.

Since these began recently I would just try a System Restore to a date when they were not happening.

I would also test the ram in Vista by running mdsched.exe and on reboot to the scanner, press F1 to access the Advanced options and run the extended tests.

Dear Rollin Rog,

I could not get the Memory Diagnostics Tool to work.

Windows cannot check for memory problems

A problem is preventing Windows from checking the memory problems during startup. Try to check for problems again by running the tool manually.

How do I run the tool manually? And what hardware or software caused the problem? How will I know?

I got another STOP error yesterday:
***STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X858A04D8, 0X80599784, 0X80599480)

Dump file attached.

When I tried to upload that attachment my Avast Antivirus went off and terminated the connection due to a malware alert.

Don't know how a minidump could do this, but it certainly seems that you have an infected computer, which could account for the issue with mdsched.exe.

About all I can do here is recommend some programs for you, as I don't due security threads myself any more.

Will Nod32 run in Safe Mode for you?

So far there are no crashes. I just don't know what happened. Seems like a miracle.

Rollin Rog, thanks very much for the help. I will just post another thread if something happened.

You need to look into possible malware infection, The first minidumps you posted are clean, but something is wrong with the last.

Have you scanned with anything?
