hi,
I have been running Windows Vista Home Premium x32 for 2 months. Everything
was running fine until recently - I've started getting a BSOD every so often.
All my drivers are up to date, and I've used the microsoft memory diagnostic,
which reports no errors. Anyway...

The screen dump is as follows:

STOP 0X0000007E

(0XC0000005, 0X8C9B26FD, 0X878C1B38, 0X878C1834)

tdx.sys Address 8C9B26FD base of 8C9A8000, Datestamp 454b2f

Can anybody shed some light on what's causing this error? Any help would be
much appreciated!

Hi,

Did you install anything recently?

The only relevant information that I could find from MS KB is the following
article based on part of your error message: tdx.sys

Windows Vista may stop responding when you install software that adds legacy
network drivers:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934611


You may need to contact MS support for hotfix and good luck.
 
Hi,

thanks for the tip! I installed that hotfix and the BSOD disappeared...
temporarily, until I received another a few hours later stating
"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" etc.

After running verifier.exe, it turns out that I have 5 unsigned drivers,
which are all part of "Eset Smart Security BETA 1b" (the future version of
NOD32). The BSODS started about a day after I installed this, so I think I
might have located the problem,

Thanks for your help.

Can you back off to the release version of NOD32? I've been using NOD32
since it was released for VISTA for 8 months now with nary a problem.

Also ... how tight do you have things screwed down on Verifier? Did you take
the standard settings or set all options?
