177369 2003-09-23 10:37:00 The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.

Parameter Description
1 Address of the worker routine
2 IRQL that the worker thread returned at
3 Work item parameter
4 Work item address

Cause
A worker thread completed and returned at IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.

Resolving the Problem
To find the driver that caused the error, use the LN (List Nearest Symbols) debugger command:

kd> ln address

where address is the worker routine address given in Parameter 1

177371 2003-09-23 11:14:00 Sounds like you have faulty RAM.

If possible try testing the RAM.

177372 2003-09-23 19:50:00 Hmmm yes I suspect something like that. I am taking it back to the supplier today and will let you know the outcome. mcjelly (3439)
177373 2003-09-25 20:08:00 Turns out to be a fauloty new graphics card. Another symptom of the malaise was the monitor would sometimes not fire up, or the machine would reset. So thank you for your help. Much appreciated. mcjelly (3439)
