Win2k3 Server random BSOD Win32k.sys
Hi,
I have a 2k3 enterprise SP2 server running on a VMware ESX 3.5. Every few days I am getting a BSOD, which does not seem to be related to any specific action. Intially the dump file pointed to symevent.sys, so, I suspected Symantec AV, and removed it. Now I am still getting the BSOD, but the dump has changed, and is now pointing to Win32k.sys. See output below. This is now getting very urgent, so any help appreciated.

Thanks, this pointed me in the right direction. What I ended up doing was just downloading the latest version of SP2 and re-applied it to the server. Since then the problem seems to have gone away.
