BSOD 0x9F in NTOSKRNL.EXE

The dump file should be in the same location as the others so it appears that a dump file was not created.

Can you try running the Driver Verifier again but do not choose to verify the following drivers which may provide access to the hard drive during dump creation:

diskdump.sys

dump_storahci.sys

dump_dumpfve.sys

Do you still get an endless reboot?

If you mean: the BSOD I got yesterday morning before I decided to try DV, yes there was a dump: http://1drv.ms/1JxR0ck

But when DV was active, it seems no dump was generated during these reboots. Or I don't know where to look for it... (searched for *.DMP everywhere on C: and D:)

Is DV supposed to have left some trace behind?

Was there a dump file created with the BSOD ?

Got another BSOD this morning, so I enabled Driver Verifier.

I used a "standard" configuration, with the following settings:

VerifyDriverLevel 0x209bb

VerifyDrivers pxhelp20.sys dump_diskdump.sys dump_storahci.sys dump_dumpfve.sys ext2fsd.sys mpkslcea90c54.sys elbycdio.sys atikmpag.sys atikmdag.sys bcmwl63l.sys ndis.sys k57nd60x.sys rimmptsk.sys rimsptsk.sys rixdptsk.sys itecir.sys gearaspiwdm.sys cbfs3.sys vclone.sys atihdw73.sys atmfd.dll pdfsfilter.sys defragfs.sys dokan.sys npf.sys secdrv.sys vstor2-mntapi20-shared.sys 000.fcl mpksldb339213.sys bcbtums.sys btwampfl.sys btwavdt.sys btwaudio.sys btwl2cap.sys btwrchid.sys

All this got me was an endless-rebooting system.

I booted WinPE, mounted C:'s SYSTEM registry, renamed both keys, and the system's back.

Is DV supposed to have left some trace behind?

I have uninstalled SpeedFan and cleaned up everything that seemed related to Wondershare or Apowersoft software.

I'm now thinking it might be good to remove or upgrade other pre-2010 drivers, and have come up with the following list (extracted from the latest dump by looking at timestamps in the output from 'lm ot'):

The ITECIR thing is the driver for the Dell infrared mini-remote; don't know if they have anything newer (I remember that upgrading to 8.0 then 8.1 caused the remote to stop functioning).

Dunno what software PxHelp20.sys and secdrv.sys are associated with.

I will try to find a newer driver for the Ricoh SD card reader (could have some influence on the USB issue?)

Any (other) suggestions? Do you think my list of "old" stuff is complete or should I use other criteria?
