2 Blue screens of death

[Charlotte_h]

~~Copied this message, which is my own, from a board. "Maple" means "Maple Story", which is an online game. I am not sure if the blue screens and Maple are related, although I suppose there could be some connection. I've had another blue screen two or three months ago, before I played Maple, too. Also, I'm new. Hi. ^_^ ~~

Alright, this is seriously starting to concern me. After reading numerous threads of people all with blue screen misery, I said to myself how glad I was that I had none of these problems. However, since the Maple patch, Maple seems more unstable and so is my pc.

{{{{This BSOD has been solved and removed from this post}}}}


So now, I just played Maple, for no more than 10 minutes, and I quit it, everything went fine. I surf to a site, and the music suddenly goes weird and there it comes again, a blue screen, this time far more detailed than the previous one:

-Usual Bull****advice-

Driver_unloaded_without_cancelling_pending_operations

- More bull****advice (I forgot what it all said, it included advice from switching hardware to disabling caching and shadowingoptions in the Bios to contacting the compagny I got the pc from) -

STOP: 0x000000CE (0xB85F9CEA, 0x00000008, 0xB85F9CEA, 0x00000000)

It also said it did a memorydump after having mentioned this: dump_wmimmc.sys, which is also the file that's supposed to be the problem

So I reboot my PC, completely forget to do the F8 procedure as I usually do after a crash, and upon booting the pc, it says, in Windows: "The PC has been restored from a major problem (or something). More information in the logbook".

This is what it says in my log:

Type: Error | Source: System Error | Category: (102)
Errorcode; 100000ce, parameter1: b85f9cea, parameter2: 00000008, parameter3: b85f9cea, parameter4: 00000000.

I now see there have been more errors according to my log, although I remenber always having had these on my other pc, but maybe they're somehow related, so I thought I'd mention it anyway:

Type: Error | Source: DCOM | Category: None
Cannot start DCOM-server:
{72C2714F-4478-11D3-B537-00902771A435}. Errormessage:
"Access denied. "
has occured while carrying out the task
"C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\LIVEUP~1\LUCOMS~166666" -Embedding'

Please bear in mind that I translated almost everything from Dutch, so if it sound a bit weird, or not like the usual stuff Windows comes up with, that would be why. ^_^


More info about my pc:

I have a Dell Dimension 9100, 2,99 Ghz and 1 GB Ram memory - Windows XP Home Edition and the newest SPpack (2 I believe?), I run Norton Internet Security 2006 and I quite frequently run viruschecks, adchecks and the defragmentationstuff. I'm NOT happy with having Norton, but that's the way it is. Furthermore, I'm quite positive all drivers have been properly installed. I'm not sure if a driverlist is required, but I'll provide you with it if you want to. My pc is quite new and apart from those blue screens, it runs quite smoothly.


Also, about Norton - I frequently get a Windowsmessage saying Norton Protection Center has crashed or stopped or whatever, asking me if I want to send an Error Report. This is usually _during_ the game Maple Story. Norton Protection Center never really crashes, or perhaps it just restarts itself, in any case, I never saw it really close down or giving errors or whatever.


Any help or advice or suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks a lot!
