Residual Processing on Blue Screen (NT 4)

NTDEV
1

On a Blue Screen, how dead is the PC? In particular, are interrupts still
serviced? We have a plug-in card that generates interrupts regularly and
need to know if those interrupts are still likely to be serviced by our
kernel driver.

Thanks in advance.

i beleive the system is pretty much dead at this point in time. you can
access hardware that is not part of NT for instance you can hide some part
of physical memory from NT and use it the way you want. Its possible to gain
access to this memorys contents (possibily from another m/c) even during a
blue screen.
