XP crash - Blue screen - C5 (???,2,1,8053de49)
Hi,
Win XP SP1

I've also set services to here http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

I'm getting intermittent crashes (0.25 - 5 crashes/day).
Sometimes PC crashes by itself.
Sometimes it happens when I click on a button (any program)
I've isolated the C5 crashes as these are the most common.

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
An attempt was made to access a pagable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00001880, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: 8053ce49, address which referenced memory

Does anyone know what goes on at '8053ce49' in ntoskrnl.exe?
Could it be due to a paging fault somewhere?
I've got 1.5Gb of ram, only about 500Mb gets used.
When I've set the swapfile to 20Mb, from time to time
the PC complains the virtual memory is too
small even when there's over 1Gb free in ram.
Let me know if you want any other details or if you want
me to do other experiments.
Not urgent but I would like to get this sorted out.
In and out all the time but will reply within 24hrs.
Thanks.

Re: Swapfile size
I've set it to custom 300-1000Mb for the moment to see how it goes.
The other funny thing to note is when I set the custom size, initial to 20Mb and Max size to 1000Mb, WinXP never increased the size of the swapfile beyond 20Mb and just complains that it wasn't large enough at 20Mb. Is there a clue in there somewhere?
Re: Rollback
It happened on a pretty much newish installation, after a few days after a complete rebuild. I've been installing updated drivers, bios etc but no joy in getting rid of it.
C5 errors is coming from a pretty constant location (8053ce49), although it seems to be calling different areas of memory. Then it goes beyond me!
Re: Memory Performance Tweak
Already done.
IOPageLockLimit=c00000 (12582912)
Would having too much of that cause any problems?
Re: Memory testing
I ran memtest86 overnight previously without any reported faults.
Would DocMemory give different results?
Thanks.

Probably not.
Note what programs are running when this happens. If you see that a certain program is always running when this takes place then look at as the possible problem.
Also try this

Re: Programs
Will feel naked without firewall, AV, AT programs <lol>
Was hoping the debug would give direct trace on which program was causing the problem.
>>>Start > Runs sfc /scannow
New command on me. Seemed to pull in a few files into the DLL cache. Will that overwrite any new SP1 files?? Complained about the Winfast Windows 2000/XP Driver Library Installation. Had to skip that one <shrug>. Thought I had winfast (isn't that the awful office find utility?) switched off!
Will try in-place reinstallation as last resort if it keeps crashing. Hasn't crashed yet with all the expert attention on it recently! :)
Going to give it a week or so to see if it stablizes. <fingers crossed>

Has crashed within 10 min of a reboot and sometimes lasted over 4 days before crashing so very variable. So if it lasts a week without crashing, things will be much better.
Would be interesting to 'know' if the virtual memory thing is related to this or not but I don't have the knowledge :(
Wish I 'knew' what is at 8053ce49 and what it does.
Hopefully, all going well, I'll be back in a week to give out points!

As you can imagine, I close Mozilla quite a lot. But why this time, it causes a crash? <shrug> got me puzzled.
I also had a few other C2 (7, cd4, ???, ???)

Thank you for you efforts CrazyOne :) Already unchecked auto reboot :)
03-26 - Close Windows Explorer - C5, {12030005, 2, 1, 80533ed6}
I had BNR running but have already shut it down.
Another thing is windbg doesn't like the symbol file I've d/l from microsoft. Argh! Keeps complaining "Kernel symbols are WRONG. Please fix symbols to do analysis" Dang!
My suspicion is whenever I run BNR, it is mucking around with the memory, which then can lead to a spontaneous reboot at any time WinXP ?pages? memory. Will try to observe if reboots 'only' happen during/after running BNR.
Don't suppose you know of any memory utility that will crawl through the memory space and check all the pointers are going to the right place! :)

I'm pretty sure that I didn't use BNR. However, whereas before the error messages pointed at the ntos kernal. This time it said "amon.sys ( amon+1f1a0 )" might be causing the problem, which is the antivirus software. Will keep an eye on future error messages.

I have not used BNR. However, I did uninstall some software and had not rebooted the PC. So that could be the cause. Will continue to see if only BNR provokes a reboot.

Have we tested the RAM yet?
NOTE if this doesn't find anything wrong with the RAM this DOESN'T mean the RAM is good you would need to swap out the RAM with known good modules for testing. However if it does find something wrong then chances are the RAM is bad.

Probably caused by : ntoskrnl.exe ( nt!ExFreePoolWithTag+237 )
Not running BNR. Just had email program and Mozilla running. Clicked on a link in Mozilla and PC rebooted.
Something is still mucking around with the memory and I just don't know what :-(
BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)
The current thread is making a bad pool request. Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000007, Attempt to free pool which was already freed
Arg2: 00000cd4, (reserved)
Arg3: 00008c69, Memory contents of the pool block
Arg4: 897e1ae0, Pointer to pool header

Yeah this is a tough one. It still could be faulty RAM.

Probably caused by : kmixer.sys ( kmixer!WriteBuffer+38 )
New error code to me - was just opening up IE6 to look at a website that doesn't like Mozilla.
Getting desperate so finally opened up the PC. Taken two memory sticks out. Moved what I thought was the one occupying 1.0-1.5 GB area to 0-0.5GB area. Arbitarily designated that as number 1.
Fingers crossed. Wait and see. If this works, would love to give away those 500pts <LOL>

Was out of the room watching TV. No joy with chip no1.
Moved house. Back to dial-up. Not using BNR.

Didn't get round to changing the chip.
Was out of the room watching TV. Will try to change the memory chip soon and try another one.

Have tried all the different memeory chips individually still no luck.
Have not been able to associated any particular program used and when it crashes.
Sorry I haven't reported back earlier but I got caught in work and then the rebooting just became a way of life!!!
It's still crashing. About once or twice a day. Sometimes during the day, sometimes when I turn the PC off. Sometimes a C2 error, sometimes a C5 error. Can't afford to change the PC so I'm resigned to living with it until I can change the PC.
In the meantime, I've requested 250 for CrazyOne (outstanding efforts to help) and a refund of 250, unless you're still around and have some fresh ideas <shrug>.

Hi Alanlam,
I am also experiencing the same crashes and blue screens you are suffering from.
I also am running XP pro, and have 1.5 gig ram in 3 512mb DDR266 sdrams. I was wondering if there is a common factor between our respective set ups. May I ask which motherboard you are using? Mine is an MSI K7N2 Delta. If you are half as frustrated as I am by all of this I sympathise with you!

Hi Violinman
I've got a gigabyte 7ZXE motherboard as stated in the original post! :-)
In the meantime, I've moved house last year and I've probably reinstalled windows since.
I don't remember the PC crashing much after moving house. Maybe it's the moving house with a different power supply?? Not sure.
Good luck with your PC.
