    Hi i've gotten two bsod incidents and would like to know what is the cause of it.

    I opened the .dmp with the debugging tool but i do not know how to comprehend it. Could someone help me? This is the first one...the second one will be in the next post.

    1 set you symbol path in win debug
    2 are you realy run 2008 server? why if this desktop seroisly run vista they no reason to run server as desktop os

    To use the Microsoft Symbol Server

    1.
    Make sure you have installed the latest version of Debugging Tools for Windows.

    2.
    Start a debugging session.

    3.
    Decide where to store the downloaded symbols (the "downstream store"). This can be a local drive or a UNC path.

    4.
    Set the debugger symbol path as follows, substituting your downstream store path for DownstreamStore.

    SRV*DownstreamStore* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols


    For example, to download symbols to c:\websymbols, you would add the following to your symbol path:
    SRV*c:\websymbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

    Note: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols is not browsable and is intended only for access by the debugger. For more information on setting symbol paths and using symbol servers, see the documentation accompanying Debugging Tools for Windows.

    . from your dump log "sp_rsdrv2.sys"
    . spyware terminator related: i would remove this app
    . scan your system
    . uncheck automatic restart in control panel/system/system recovery and startup to get the "simple" error code and message next BSOD around

    cheers ...

    Hi andyasselin, why do you say that my computer is on 2008 server? My laptop is only using vista ultimate. no server whatsoever. Are you instructions still applicable?

    Hi qhn, I will remove spyware terminator and see how it goes. Thanks
