There is a difference between an Event and a BSOD.

What is the BSOD error?

It's not hard to find; it is logged in the C:\Windows\LogFiles\Watchdog directory. Look for the most recent *.wdl file. Open the file in Notepad to read it.

Yup. Your half-open TCP/IP connections are not crashing your system. Something else is. Do what MMM suggested.

Or filter your System Event Log for "Save Dump." That will get you the stop code. If you can post the STOP (STOP 0x0000000[xx]) code and TEXT_STRING (i.e. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) errors, there are several of us who can find fixes and the like for you.

I don't have a c:\windows\logfiles

and I also don't have a "logfiles" folder anywhere on my C drive.

@Chucky - downloading patch now.

%windir%\minidump may have some some useful BSoD info. The minidump is where the memory dump goes when the computer blue screens. Also please check the Save Dump entries in the System log (via Event Viewer).

[MultimediaMan]

If you run your pagefile.sys on a different drive letter than Windows is installed in, then you will not be able to obtain a dump.

That "patch" will not fix your BSOD... I'm fairly certain that is not what is causing it.

I'm more than "fairly" certain.

I was trying to make nice....

Ok, what do I use to view the DMP files?

Also please check the Save Dump entries in the System log (via Event Viewer).

Under Event Viewer -> System, I don't see anything remotely similar to "Save Dump".

I just found it odd that every time I got that BSOD, I would get that error first. And I was much more likely to get that BSOD when I was running file sharing. Figrued it was worth a shot.

My swap file is on the same drive as my OS (C.
