BSOD: Same "address which referenced memory"

[Clyde]

I'm trying to track down intermittent BSODs on a Win2K SP4 system.

The only thing that stands out to me is that all the memory dumps
(five so far) refer to the same "address which referenced memory"
location (80437d8c).

Anyone have any idea what that may be a sign of? I was thinking maybe
a hardware problem (memory controller) instead of software since it's
always the same loaction.

I've performed all the memory tests I could find including Prime95 but
they all ran clean.

Towards the top of the blue screen is a referenced driver. Which
one is it listing?

Most blue screen errors are caused by one of four things:

1. Poorly written third-party drivers and services, or incorrect
drivers installed for a given piece of hardware

2. Poorly written application software, which installs hooks
into the OS that the OS can't deal with

3. Bad or intermittently bad (i.e. flaky) hardware

4. Overclocking

STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00BB2190, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80437D8C)
IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Address: 80437D8C base at 8040000, DateStamp 40d1d19a - ntoskrnl.exe

This is a barebones Win2k box with very minimal 3rd party software
installed. It's not overclocked and BIOS settings are at "failsafe".

 

[Rick]

Define "very minimal".

Does the error occur with no third-party software installed?

It's a webserver box and these are the applications that run 24/7:
IIS 5
JspISAPI (ISAPI connector for IIS - Tomcat)
Jakarta TomCat
Sun Java 1.4
Sygate Firewall
MySQL
PHP for IIS
phpAdsNew (PHP ad server)
awstats (PHP server stats)

Then I have some misc support progs that I use for development:
MySQL Control Center
FireFox
NetBeans Java IDE


I really can't run the system without these apps since I wouldn't be
able to do any development work with the system then. The BSODs are
really sporadic. Last was 12/10, then 11/08, 10/15, 10/14.

I'd say your problem is either #1 or #3 from my list.
