Are you using a disc emulator?

I see many cdrom issues.

jellysandwich · Aug 16, 2007

yes, i use daemon tools. however, i think that was due to the
heavily scratched/unplayable dvd i got from netflix.

that is mighty pink!

Im trying to track a hardlock/random reboot issue on my main rig. It is starting to look like I will be upgrading sooner then I thought if this doesnt get tracked and fixed soon.

Without knowing anything about your system, including which OS you're running... test your RAM using Memtest86+:

ok, i managed to get a glimpse at those minidump files
i posted earlier. one of them said my realtek hd (onboard
audio) was the culprit, while the other said ntoskrnl.exe
(windows core).

so ... yea, im thinking bad memory. unfortunately, i cant
memtest until i get back from work

sorry. im using windows xp sp1.

Analyze your dmp files with WinDBG:

Use the following for your symbol files:

To use the Microsoft Symbol Server

1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of Debugging Tools for Windows.

2. Start a debugging session.

3. Decide where to store the downloaded symbols (the "downstream store"). This can be a local drive or a UNC path.

4. Set the debugger symbol path as follows, substituting your downstream store path for DownstreamStore.

SRV*DownstreamStore*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

For example, to download symbols to c:\websymbols, you would add the following to your symbol path:
SRV*c:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
