premier69 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 During the past 2 nights since i installed Windows i have left my computer running during night time and have both past mornings been greeted by this message:Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.Problem signature:Problem Event Name: BlueScreenOS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1Locale ID: 1053Additional information about the problem:BCCocde 116BCP1: FFFFFA800521E4E0BCP2: FFFFFA6003A11860BCP3: FFFFFFFFC000009ABCP4: 0000000000000004OS Version: Service Pack: 1_0Product: 256_1Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini051808-02.dmp C:\Users\premier69\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-49530-0.sysdata.xml C:\Users\premier69\AppData\Local\Temp\WERC908.tmp.version.txtRead our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=501...mp;clcid=0x0409So, what does this mean?

nitroshift Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Can you upload that minidump somewhere? Better still, configure your pc for a full memory dump, archive the resulting file and upload that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Actually, this is one where the bugcheck description is probably enough to determine the problem:Bug Check 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERRORThe VIDEO_TDR_ ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000116. This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed. ParametersThe following parameters are displayed on the blue screen. Parameter Description 1 The pointer to the internal TDR recovery context, if available. 2 A pointer into the responsible device driver module (for example, the owner tag). 3 The error code of the last failed operation, if available. 4 Reserved.I'd say you've got a video driver problem...

cluberti Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 do you guys have any good source of material to teach how to analyze error reports from full dumps etc?Well, knowing C and C++ programming concepts (and having done it for awhile) is a definite help, since most of the code you analyze is in C/C++ (if you plan on debugging things in .net languages, for example, knowing the language and concepts will help there as well obviously). On top of that, understanding the structure of a process or the kernel in Windows and how the memory manager works are both quite important (Windows Internals 4th Edition). After that, debugging concepts and procedures can be picked up from a few places (including practice), but a good book is Advanced Windows Debugging.Also, the most important things to remember is that debugging takes practice, understanding of how what you are debugging works (otherwise, you won't recognize "not working"), and knowing that sometimes there's more art than science to debugging.

premier69 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 I see, i will check out your referred links.I know nothing about programing but thats another step in my learning so might as well be sooner rather than later,having practical use for the knowledge will help motivate, thank you.
