Question : Windows 7" BSOD "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TR<wbr />AP"

Hi X-perts,

I have BSOD with a brand new Dell notebook (delivered just 4 days ago). The symptoms:

1) It randomly crashes with UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP, Bug Check Code 0x0000007f

2) Crash may happen when working with any different applications or just in an idle mode.

3) I have had 7 BSOD for the last 3 days

4) Dell hardware tests run OK

5) A few times it showed a distorted color-line screen before BSOD (probably a video card?)

What could be a problem? I have already arranged a replacemenet with DELL, but wanted to make sure that it is not software related.

My trap code is 0x00000008, or Double Fault

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks

Please attach the dump files - copy them out of \windows\minidump to \documents, then upload/ attach.  My guess - you have an Internet Security product installed that is causing the 0x7f bugcheck.  The 0x8 double-fault simply means that the error handler was busy when an exception occurred, the CPU "realized" a no-win situation and signaled a double-fault.

Happy Holidays!
