Re: Blue screen crashes

Gerry,

my machine is a custom built.

asus p5n32-sli se deluxe mobo
Kingston 2 * 1GB ram
WD SATA 250GB HDD
Intel core 2 duo E6600
XFX geforce 6800gt

My windows XP Pro cd is part of the MS Action pack.

This machine is a desktop used at home for mostly office applications.

It is about 1 1/2 years old.

A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler
didn't catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues
(which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).
http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

Has there been any use of remote control software to maintain, update or
service this computer. Is the laptop used for work as well as pleasure?

What is your Windows XP CD as it is described on the face of the CD?

What is your computer make and model? How old is it?

*******************************************************************************

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address
pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this
address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never
have hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 80550320, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: a467aae8, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

What Warning and Error Reports appear in Event Viewer since it's
removal? Can you please post copies.

If you have had a malware infestation one holds the door open to let
it's friends in.

Can you please post a copy of the latest Stop error report.

SSFS0BB8.SYS - does not exist on the machine after the uninstall of
webroot.


I will follow your spyware suggestions after I do the verifier and
chkdsk /r

SSFS0BB8.SYS -This file concerns me as I cannot ascertain what
it is but it has often cropped up in HijackThis files where the
user is seeking to remove malware.

Can you locate the file in Windows Explorer and examine it's
properties by right clicking on the file. Instructions on how to
Show hidden files are in the next paragraph.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced
Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and
folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files "
is unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item.
You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions
for known file types" is not checked. Next in Windows Explorer
make sure View, Details is selected and then select View, Choose
Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and Free Space.


What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

I do not think it is is worth pursuing other avenues of enquiry
until the situation regarding malware is clearer.
