    Memtest is a good idea.
    And is it possible for you to upload that minidump file.

    It might be in the Windows/Minidump folder.

    Yeah, that's probably bad RAM.

    A BSOD is caused either by flakey drivers or faulty hardware. In your case, it is likely your RAM. To use memtest, your going to need a bootable flash drive with DOS or a floppy disk. Check out this site for a how to, I like Method 2 the best as it is the easiest to do.

    On the "Quick Reply" form, click on the "Go Advanced" button, then click on the paperclip icon at the top of the new form you get, and attach the minidump file to your reply post.

    Hi Jason,

    your problem is Interesting,

    even after reinstalling the BSOD strikes back..
    and here i am ..who fixed BSOD in 30 mins without losing one byte of Data.

    So, it means Driver issue is ruled out, its a hardware issue or BIOS which hasnt been reset.

    Can u just try to do this and tell me:

    1. Start your comp and access the BIOS.
    2. go to its settings & just Load the Default Settings of BIOS.
    3. Try restarting.

    if it doesnt then let me know.

    there are 3 more things u can do.


    btw Shyster..how are u going to comprehend the minidump? wouldnt it be in non-readable format?

    i think sysdata.xml will be more useful.

    Compress it or zip it (in .zip format) and upload.

    You can either rename "windrvNT.sys" to "windrvNT.sys.OLD", and move it to another drive or folder, and restart and see if Folder Lock runs fine or not. If it runs fine, wait for any BSODs to occur.

    If BSODs still continue to occur, uninstall Folder Lock.

    (Or you can uninstall it now, if you don't need it and make sure that .sys file has been removed from Windows/System32/drivers or whichever folder it is located in)

    Check out the BugCheck Analysis in the debuglog. :)

    Basically that driver file is the culprit....

    You can also try a previous (stable) version of Folder Lock.
