unexpected shutdown to bluescreen

I've been getting the same problem, rarely in the past months but twice in a day (today). Below is the message I get. I'm not sure if the cause is the same as those discussed here or something else? What does the BCCode imply? I hope someone can help me out. Thanks alot.

I have this error. it happened because i did not close down all the programs.
i have second life installed and every time i put it to sleep (by closing the
lid) with the software still running i get this error. I also got the video
hardware error 1 minute before the blue screen. the only difference in my
blue screen and these are the numbers.

I am running vista home premium on a Toshiba satellite with 1 G of memory. I
wiped it clean nite and a half ago and reinstalled vista from the Toshiba
restore disk, downloaded the updates, put in both AVG anti virus and AVG
anti-ad ware. malware. I do a clean every day, and when i run second life -
being so large and using so much memory (400,000+kb) i exit all programs that
are unnecessary in my system.

the only thing i did that is the same as the previous times this happened to
me was not closing all programs before putting her to sleep. And, i put her
to sleep about 2 1/2 hours ago and the error only popped up 15 minutes ago
according to event viewer.

Here is a follow-up to my situation (original post below):

I have experienced no relief from the blue screen crashes after applying every update and fix I could think of. BCCodes 9f, d1, 0a. I now have 12 total failures since installing Vista on the brand new Inspiron 1420 on 2/13 (about 4 weeks). No other problems, which makes it even more frustrating!

So, I have contacted Dell about a full return. They are of course reluctant. BUT - I was surprised that Dell pointed out a slightly updated video/display driver than the one I had updated. My specific hardware is the Intel GM965 Express Chipset driver. Version is v.7.14.10.1272, A02. Release date 6/28/07. The driver I was using had the same version, but was released 5/8/07.

I have updated the driver and will wait and see if it addresses the problem. It should be very clear if I simply use the machine for 7 days without a blue screen crash, as it has been crashing about every 3 days.

Dell also recommended the Microsoft update KB943899 but I have had that installed since day one.

I will post an update either way in about a week.

Also, Vista offers a useful tool to show just how poorly Vista is performing.

If you open the Start menu and type "reliability" you will get the Reliability & Performance Monitor. This will provide a history of all updates and, more importantly, application failures, and Windows system failures. This will give you easy access to the specific BCCodes associated with your blue screen crashes over time.

Eva your BC-Code does not match any known blue-screen error code in Microsoft`s database, Are you sure it was the right one...


nodoctors I would very highly recommend buying a separate video card...Intel GM965 Express Chipset`s are internal and are only able to run very VERY limited basic graphics any any version of windows, These internal chipsets use your CPU and MEM to run causing many problems with performance, stability and usability.
I think 95% of your bluescreen errors are related directly to that internal video chipset because of the way they "****" around your system using its resources instead of its own.

Same BSOD - but BC code is 7e
Using Vista Business OS
9 BSODs in last month, including 4 in the last 5 days.
Did complete virus scan 7 days ago. Found a trojan horse and adware. Supposedly removed - subsequent scan found no virus.
Machine is custom built - 4 months ago.

Any idea what code 7e is?

Thanks.

Sounds like that spyware left some non-vista system routines that are causing vista to BSOD when they are called into the system...

Most spyware is made for XP,2000 and 98/ME so when it gets installed on vista it causes all sorts of problems with the interal structures.

Spyware + Vista = killed vista

Bug Check 0x7E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check has a value of 0x0000007E. This bug check indicates that a system thread generated an exception that the error handler did not catch.
Parameters

The following parameters appear on the blue screen.
ParameterDescription1The exception code that was not handled2The address where the exception occurred3The address of the exception record4The address of the context record

Cause

The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check is a very common bug check. To interpret it, you must identify which exception was generated.
Common exception codes include the follwoing:

• 0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.
• 0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERT was encountered when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.
• 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation occurred.

Resolving the Problem

If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques.

• Make sure you have enough disk space.
• If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
• Try changing video adapters.
• Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
• Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

If you plan to debug this problem, you might find it difficult to obtain a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the exception address) should identify the driver or function that caused this problem.

I have also been getting thid error for some reason. Happened twice today...
Any solutons to the 9F?

Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x0000009F. This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.

Parameters
There are 4 parameters that appear on the blue screen (too much info to add twice in thread) Parameter 1 indicates cause.


Basically it means one of your devices is outdated and needs a driver update...

use Driver Verifier to check all your device driver (then end in .sys)

heres a useful link detailing everything you will need to check/test any driver without having to reboot all the time
