Answer : BSOD 0X40000080

Time to analyze the crash dumps!

Step 1: Download the debugger - http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.8.4.0.msi

Step 2: Install the debugger, and navigate to the folder you installed it to.

Step 3. Run windbg.exe and File -> Open Crash Dump... (Ctrl + D)

Step 4: Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Step 5: Sort by date modified

Step 6: Pull most recent dump

Step 7: It is magically analyzed and the probable cause is displayed. This is not 100% scientific.

Step 8: If you need more information use the command !analyze -v

Step 9: Stop debugging (Shift + F5?)

Step 10: Go to step 3b and repeat until you're done analyzing all of the recent crash dumps or you have a good idea of the source.


At the end of the dump, it will say something like "Problem caused by xyz.sys!". Please post that here, and we can help track things down. :)
