You might check event viewer under the application log after the system comes back up. By default the memory dumps should be under \windows\minidump if you want to take a look. Regards, Bryan On 3/8/06, Kris Katterjohn <kjak () ispwest com> wrote:

It just tells you "one of the component of the OS kernel, most probably a driver, did something wrong, and therefore the OS will stop". The most probable cause of the error, if this happens while you use nmap, is the kernel driver that nmap uses to send and receive raw network frames, i.e. WinPcap's NPF.sys. In most cases, in fact, you can see if the fault is in winpcap by checking if around the bottom of the blue screen you see somewhere "npf.sys". If the fault is in winpcap, first of all you should make sure you are using the latest version of the driver, which can be found at http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm. If the problem persists with the latest version, you can report the bug to the developers as explained at http://www.winpcap.org/contact.htm, under "Need to report a bug?". LorisFor some reason the reboots aren't happening as often as before. It took quite a few tries (like 8 where it used to be 1-2) before I got it to reboot. Anyway, I got the BSOD but it doesn't have any .sys file on there. Also, something I think it weird, it says: Beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete ...without anything in between! The main reason I thought it was the RAM was because I read on the internet that it results from hardware failure, and on the error message it says to make sure any new hardware is installed correctly. The RAM is the only thing I've installed on that box.
