Need help with a minidump analysis from bluescreen system error event ID 1003

I have a PC that is starting to bluescreen
the system error that is logged is Event ID 1003

I've uploaded two of the recent minidumps here:
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/163715544/Mini102408-01.dmp
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/163715546/Mini111408-01.dmp

I'm unable to access rapidshare at work, but to read minidumps follow these instructions:

1) Download and install the http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
Debugging Tools from Microsoft[/url]
2) Locate your latest memory.dmp file- C:\WINDOWS\ Minidump\Mini081505-01.dmp or whatever
3) open a CMD prompt and cd\program files\debugging tools for windows\
4) type the following stuff:
Code:

c:\program files\debugging tools>kd -z C:\WINDOWS\ Minidump\Mini081505-01.dmp
(it will spew a bunch)
kd> .logopen c:\debuglog.txt
kd> .sympath srv*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
kd> .reload;!analyze -v;r;kv;lmnt;.logclose;q

5) You now have a debuglog.txt in c:\, open it in notepad and post the content here

The information provided is insufficient for analysis. Additionally, you have provided Web links for dumps from a second website. When this website has the ability to attach a file. This provider finds the links risky.
Appropriate information, for analysis would be.
Event log entries information prior to the crash. This information may be modified or sanitized to delete domain name and IP.
The dump information from the event logs. Not the binary dump. You may also provide the stop code from the blue screen, which is usually the first line.
If this information cannot be provided please delete question.
Yes, I've reviewed your question history.
Here's the rest of the dump analysis.

You will notice that SYMEVENT.SYS is two years old. In a similar case here on EE updating the Symantec Anti-Virus (not the definitions, the application itself) seems to have solved the problem. (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21771350/PAGE-FAULT-IN-NONPAGED-AREA-50-Probably-caused-by-Pool-Corruption-Stop-Error-00000050.html)

Faulty memory (run a long test with memtest86 (www.memtest86.com) or a virus infection are also possible causes.
Run a scan with Malwarebyte's Antimalware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php), then a deep scan with your AV, then post a HijackThis log.

Open in new window

from the minidumps posted, the problem seems to be coming from a faulty driver. did you recently install any new hardware or upgrade any drivers on the machine? Did you boot to the last known good configuration?
Also, consider running a system restore and restore to a previous date and/or remove any new hardware.

see this article:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/6093.mspx?mfr=true

I know its for win2k but the same concept still applies.

try replacing your memory modules.



does the machine w/ the problem clear the page file on shutdown?
you may want to try logging into the machine in safe mode and enable that feature.

Start > Run > "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes) & press enter

navigate to:

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Local Policies > Security Options: Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile

set that option to enabled.

if you are unable to log into the machine, you may consider removing the drive which contains the Pagefile, installing it into another machine as a slave drive and manually deleting the page file. Place the drive back into the original machine and boot up as normal. Windows will create a new page file upon boot up.

Thank you everyone
I uploaded the minidumps to eestuff related to this quesiton as asked.

Responding to some of these comments.
We can't upgrade our Symantec Antivirus - this is a corporate PC.  when we tested an upgrade it caused problems in other areas of our company.
Also I can't modify group policy settings easily (centrally controlled) so I'll hold off on that idea for now.
Its already booted up cleanly since the last BSOD so I don't believe the "last known good configuration" will help.
System restore is disabled per group policy at our company, so I can't do that.

I can certainly reinstall the hostexplorer program, so I will do that
We have pretty robust virus scanning, and firewall filters, so I don't think its a virus.  I'll hold off on that also for now.

I can run a memory stress test also.
I'll do the memory stress test and the hostexplorer reinstall first.
stay tuned.  thank you for all the comments.
Reinstall Hummingbird Host Explorer had resolved the issue.
