i think your problem is the symtdi.sys driver. what that is, i dunno. for memtest you will probably want the precompiled bootable binary or bootable iso (iso is for a cd-image, in case like me you dont have a floppy drive) dclive - im not sure how good my router is, i guess it would probably...

nothing in particular, it would occur seemingly at random. playing games, browsing the internet, listening to music, watching movies. but it hasnt happened since i uninstalled outpost firewall, which was last monday, so it seems to have been fixed. i hope... i do have a program called...

yeah im using a router, have been for ages. just not sure how safe it would be to turn off my software firewall... ive stuck sygate on for now, its ok so far. with a bit of luck i wont get any more trouble from it! may check out that antispyware tool though, i dont have anything at the moment...

my computer started crashing intermittently sometime after christmas. id formatted and reinstalled windows around the same time. it would crash to blue screen with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and some numbers displayed - but no driver was listed. the problem was getting worse and worse...

dont mean to be rude and jump in on your thread, but i have a similar problem... been getting the errors for a few months, always without a driver listed. figured it was a driver problem so i formatted my harddrive (i needed to do this anyway, just hadnt got round to it) and all seemed to be...
