2 different blue screens on windows 2003 server in 1 week

Hi,

I can't access Rapid Share sites from work. Has anything been changed on the system recently?

You can use the Windows Debugging Tools to analyse the memory.dmp file that should be in your C:\windows or c:\winnt folder. Copy this to a workstation and install the debugging tools and then use Windbg to analyse the dump file to try to help figure it out.

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx

You'll need to add the following setting to the symbol file path within the Windbg tool
SRV*c:\temp*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Hi,

Thanks for your explanation.
I ran windbg with the correct symbol file path with the bug check of yesterday; results :

I am not sure how to interpret the results, although if i am looking into it i think the cure could be in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=907242 ?  Am i correct in this ?

Cheers,

i received the hotfix from MS and installed it on the server.

Sounds good. Did they review anything and provide any feedback before provifing the patch? Let us know how you get on.

no they didnot review anything; its just like ordering a pizza, only i didnot have to pay ;-)
I will let you know, but it takes some time probably before i know the bsod is not coming back.

Thanks al lot!

Yeah its going to take some monitoring before you know for sure. I always wondered if they reviewed anything before handing out the patch Now I know.

Thanks.

Hi there, until now no blue screen anymore.

Many thanks,
Robert.
