Hey there --
I'm having repeated BSOD events, every few days, and am having a devil of a time pinning anything down. The error codes may come up as BAD POOL CALLER, or SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION, or PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGED AREA. Those are the three I've seen multiple times. WhoCrashed gives plain-English explanations, but they're extremely general, and of little value to me. (i.e., "This is most likely a bad driver and not a hardware problem... the error occurred in the kernel..." DUH!) I've tried BlueScreenView, but I honestly don't have a clue how to begin with all that detailed information, and I could use some more expert help. (The upload is from the SF tool.)
There doesn't seem to be a pattern to when it happens, I've been surfing the net when it crashes, and I've sat down in the morning to find that it crashed overnight. Oddly enough, it has NOT crashed when I've been in the middle of anything intensive, like photo editing or manipulating music files.
The motherboard I'm working on is an Asus M3A-78CM, an older AMD AM2+ board with DDR2 memory, and I'm already aware of some driver issues with Win 8, particularly the VIA audio drivers, which are being worked around with some generic ones from nVidia. There is also a scanner attached which has no 64-bit drivers for it, but I have that disabled. And there is a quirky printer which seems to have a love/hate relationship with my system. Other than that, everything performs VERY well... except for these blue screens. Any help will be appreciated!
