Blue screen Hell

I’ve got a computer that has been putting me in blue screen Hell for over 3
months, now. I’ve done a bunch to it to try to get it functional for more
than a few hours, but the record is about 24 hours of functionality before
a bsod (and most of that time I was not using it.) Using it, I usually only
get a few hours.

Recently, it has been giving me STOP 0xc9 (0x05, 0x00, 0x02, 0x00) IO
manager has detected a violation by a driver that is being verified. Faulty
driver must be debugged and replaced…

I get memory dumps each time, but I am not sure what to do with them to
locate the actual driver that is causing the problem. (I suspect it may be
several drivers, but I am not sure.) I also suspect it is related to the
sound card, but I am not sure. (It does go into a buzzing mode, however, at
the time of the crash.)
This machine has given me many other bsod messages, and I have been
removing and replacing various drivers for a few months. I suspect I am
down to only one or two bad drivers at this point, but I am not sure which
ones.

The computer is a dual processor 600 MHz pIII with 512 mg ram and 2 uf/uw
scsi drives and a Super Micro P6DGS motherboard with the latest bios.

TIA for any suggestions as to how to actually put this problem to bed once
and for all.
Ed

Hi there!

Maybe you should tell about other components in your system or be much more
detailed… What board revision, what ram type and manufacturer, what bios
settings, what harddisks, what soundcard, what video card etc. etc.
Actually, I’d say, if your sound card is a Soundblaster PCI oder Live!, get
rid of it as soon as possible; particularly in the case if you use
Creative’s drivers instead of the ones on Win2k CD.
What could also be? Overheating of CPUs. Somewhere something overclocked.
Bad scsi cables.

Greetings,
Alex

Gasp! The dreaded blue screen! This also happened to me for a couple of
weeks. What i did was safe mode and uninstalled my audio drivers. The other
time i blue-screened was when I wrote a Native API and installed it. The
message was application error and wouldn’t even enter into safe mode so what
I did was (the last resort!) install in another partition a new installation
of win2k and removed the faulty application from the registry of my first
installation. Hope this helps!

Ed,

This is an interesting message. You’ve given no hint in here as to what file system driver you are developing, and what file system development problem you think is likely to be causing the problem. This list is for file system developers, and isn’t a general support forum.

I’ve done a quick trawl in the archives, and you don’t seem to be a regular contributor, of either questions or answers.

I’d like to feed two things back then:
(1) Please keep posts “On topic” as file system development problems
(2) Strip your machine down to the minimum, do a clean install, and add bits in until you find out what is causing the problems. If it isn’t something you are writing yourself, then talk to the manufacturer / developer of the component in question. To be honest, it sounds to me like a hardware fault or a misconfiguration, which is nothing to do with file system development.

If BSODs are more or less random and not the same BSOD each time - I suspect
this is a bad hardware problem.
Like the faulty memory, overclocking, overheating the CPU.
