Hi,

Using Windows XP professional with SP3.

There was a BSOD on the on a lab computer today. I do not know what
application was running or what operations that were performed at the
time of BSOD. Here is the info I got from WinDBG of the mini dump.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address
pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this
address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never
have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 00000010, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: f740bc30, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

It seems to point to the win32k.sys. What actions does this file
perform?

Searching for the file win32k.sys using google indicates that there
are several problems with this file and BSOD. A lot of them are
releated to hardware \ driver issues. There are quite a number of
drivers installed on WinXP, how can I narrow down the list of
suspected drivers?

Please advice on how to analyze this issue.

Is the problem a one time error that has not repeated?

Thank you for the response.

The BSOD has only happend once so far.

Read the article you posted. Would you say Microsoft Remote Desktop is
a "third-party remote control program"?
