Since SP1, I have been getting random bluescreens. Pre-Sp1, my system was rock solid.

After reboot, I get this:

Anyone else have trouble with SP1?

I did some reading and there are a few people that seem to think that if you had updates to install prior to SP1, they should have been installed or problems will ensue. I had a few udpates but figured they would be installed along with SP1. Any truth to this? Am I looking at a format?


Thanks....


edit: got another BSOD while typing this...

The stop error that you're getting is telling you that the system thread (i.e. the kernel, drivers, and other processes running in kernel mode) attempted to execute a memory address that wasn't marked as executable. This can be caused by damaged memory, or by buggy device drivers or other programs that run in kernel mode (antivirus scanners being the usual culprit). Considering that this didn't start happening until updating to SP1, I'm leaning toward the latter.

Windows should've saved a memory dump in C:\Windows\Minidump. You can analyze that dump using WinDbg to determine exactly which driver or process is causing Windows to crash.
