Unexpected Shutdowns Continue

[Guest]

I am still having troubles scanning or opening certain files on my computer
without crashing. Because of some past error messages I suspected a driver
problem- I enableded the Driver Verifier and immediately got this blue
screen: IO SYSTEM VERIFICATION ERRIR IN EIO.sys (EDM DRIVER ERROR 226)
[EIO.sys+438 AT EE344438].
I have saved the minidump, but have no idea of how to interprut or anaylze
such data, nor do I know if this is a Driver Verifier Detected Violation.
Anyone??

Hi 8track,

You can send the minidumps to me (remove "online" from my address) and I can
take a look. Sometimes a tool called Driver Verifier is needed to catch the
culprit.

To enable driver verifier:
1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot

There is a possibility that your computer will crash on reboot. If this
occurs hit F8 when rebooting just before the windows logo screen and select
the safe mode boot option. Follow the same steps above but on step 4 choose
'Select driver names from a list'; hit next; check the box next to any
driver where the provider is not Microsoft; hit Finish; reboot.

This will slow the performance of you computer a little while enabled but
will hopefully catch the driver causing corruption. Next time you crash
the blue screen will hopefully say something like
"DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION". If this occurs please send the
corresponding minidump (by default it is at c:\windows\Minidump ) my way.
If you have any questions or I didn't explain something well enough don't
hesitate to e-mail me back. Good Luck,
