vmx86.sys causes BSOD Win7

I use VMware® Workstation 7.0.1 build 227600.

Once, when I run the application, windows is dead...

Not always been that way, just sometimes.

It's analysis that windbg made, if you need, I can send you the dmp file.

This verification step is performed only when the driver verifier controls are active.  (Or on a checked build, but your 'free' that says dump the password do not here).  VMware driver (vmx86.sys) is incompatible with these controls.  You need to disable the driver verifier or specifically exclude pilot of VMware Driver Verifier.

(More details: control of audit of MDL here requires a unique MDL for each page of memory we place.)  LDM is fine to use for this purpose for e/s when very little memory is actually pinned for e/s.  But LDM don't fit very well when pinning of 70% of the memory of the host, as Windows does not have enough memory to the kernel for enough LDM follow this amount of memory.  So, we use a data structure that is more effective than that of the linked list of the Windows - which is quite correct, but which causes of Driver Verifier to panic.  If we use LDM, we could keep the auditor of happy drivers but you could only pin ~ 10% of the memory of the host and 10% is insufficient to run a virtual machine with performance expectations).

    So far, this was the only time where I had it coming, but I have not tried from new record yet.  Actively running programs are FireFox, Pcsx2 and Fraps.  However, I ran these before without this issue arise.  I'm inclined to think that this is a time to screw that maybe something has been registered correctly or incorrectly read memory.

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ==========================================

    Tests of memory intercept all errors such as memory do not match (possible even for sticks
    seemingly identical) and when the faster memory is placed in system behind the slower memory.
    So it is best to Exchange also glue in and out to check for those, even if all the tests of memory do not respond
    a problem.

    To test the RAM here control - run 4 + hours or so.<-- best="">

    Start - type in the search-> memory box - find top - click - right Memory Diagnostics tool

    The vmx86.sys driver is not compatible with Driver Verifier (or verified kernel versions).  Provide the driver of driver verifier.

    What the driver works correctly and is extremely well tested.  Unfortunately, driver verifier is very conservative and reported as an error.

    I gave a more detailed explanation in another post a few weeks; Search for "Verifier" for more details.  The short version is that to complete the Verifier checks, we must limit the VMs to 10% of total system memory.

  • Geniune Intel causing BSOD

    MS community,

    I added some hardware from Razer (Blackwidow Ultimate keyboard & DeathAdder mouse) my system, a month or two before, and Synapse 2.0 caused BSOD regularly, so I took out starter, and my system has worked very well, until the last two weeks. I am not usually the addition or removal of hardware or software, so maybe I'm picking up cyber-Carbuncles in surfing on... not sure. In any case the last two .dmp files are on OneDrive: http://1drv.ms/1tpXPpW. I hope one of you very smart people can help me understand what is causing my plant.

    Thank you all in advance!

    Baird

    Original title: BSOD are back...

    WBM

    These 2 are called BCC124 and are related to the material.  Since the real interest is mentioned I would run the cpu stress test first

    I would also remove the app associated with Bus Marvin/MarvinPro MarvinBus.sys from Pinnacle Systems enumerator.  (yours is 2005)

    Try this free stress test: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/


    Prime95 Setup program;
    -Extract the contents of the zip file into a directory of your choice
    -Double-click on the executable file
    -Select "all stress testing.
    -Select the test of 'Blend '.  If you have already run MemTest overnight, you can run the test of "Small FFFS" instead.
    "Number of threads of torture test run" must equal the number of processors multiplied by 2 (if you use hyperthreading).
    The best way to do this is to go to the Manager of the tasks of the figure... The performance tab - and see the number of boxes that appear under the CPU usage history
    Then run the test of 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors [b](whichever comes first)
    The selection of Test and the file stress.txt box describes the components that insists on the program.
    Stop 0 x 124 is a hardware error

    If you are overclocking try to reset your settings to standard processor and see if that helps.

    If you keep getting the BSOD here are things more than you may want.
    This is usually hardware related, defective heat, memory or processor even if it is "possible" he is associated (rare) driver.

    Stop 0 x 124 - what it means and what to try

    Synopsis:
    A "stop 0 x 124" is fundamentally different from many other types of bluescreens because it arises from a complaint of material.
    Stop 0 x 124 minidumps contain very little concrete information, and it is therefore necessary to address the problem as a case of material in an unknown state of distress.

    Generic troubleshooting ' Stop 0 x 124 ":

    1) to ensure that none of the hardware components are overclocked. Material which is pushed beyond its design specifications - by overclocking - may malfunction in unpredictable ways.
    (2) ensure that the machine is sufficiently cooled.
    If there is doubt, open the side of the case (be aware of all the relevant conditions guaranteed!) PC and direct an electric fan squarely to the motherboard. Who will rule on most cooling problems (lack of).
    3) update all drivers related to materials: video, sound, RAID (if applicable), NIC... anything that interacts with a piece of hardware.
    It is best to run the latest drivers anyway.
    (4) update the BIOS of your motherboard according to the manufacturer's instructions and clear CMOS.
    Their website should provide detailed instructions on the brand and model-specific procedure.
    (5) rarely, bugs in the operating system may cause "false positives" 0 x 124 events where the hardware wasn't complaining, but Windows thought otherwise (because of the bug).
    At the time of writing, Windows 7 does not have to suffer from a defect, but it is nevertheless important to keep Windows up-to-date.


    6) trying (stress) test these hardware components that can be put to the test artificially.
    The most obvious examples are the RAM and HDD (s).
    For the RAM, use the 3 rd-party memtest86 utility to run several hours a test value. (6-8 passes to stress the ram)
    For hard drives, verify if CHKDSK /R finds any problems on (s), including "bad sectors".
    Unreliable RAM, in particular, is mortal, as well as software, and anything other than a 100% clear memory test result is cause for concern. Unfortunately, even a 100% clear result the diagnostic utilities does not guarantee that the RAM is free of any defect - only that none have been encountered during the test passes.
    7) as the last of the non-invasive troubleshooting steps, perform a "Vanilla" Windows reinstallation: just the OS itself without additional applications, games, utilities, updates, new drivers - or ANYTHING that does not come from the Windows 7 disc.
    Who stops working mitigate the problem of the 0 x 124, jump to the next step.
    If you run the "Vanilla" installation long enough to convince yourself that not a single 0 x 124 accident occurred, start installing applications and updates slowly, always stopping between successive additions long enough to get an idea of the question if the machine is still free of 0 x 124 breaks down.
    Smash back, obviously the latest addition of software may be somehow connected to the root cause.
    If the stop error 0 x 124 persist despite the above steps, and the equipment is under warranty, consider to go back and ask for a replacement that does not suffer periodic MCE events.
    Be aware that want to perform the subsequent hardware troubleshooting steps can, in some cases, void your warranty:
    (8) clean and carefully remove the dust inside the machine.
    Reinstall all memory modules and connectors.
    Use a can of compressed air to clean the RAM DIMM supports as much as possible.
    (9) If all else fails, start removing items of hardware one by one in the hope that the culprit is something non-essential that can be eliminated.
    Obviously, this type of testing is much easier if you have access to equivalent components in order to perform swaps.

    If you are in the situation to have completed all the steps above without a resolution of the symptom, unfortunately the most likely reason is that the error message is literally correct - something is fundamentally wrong with the hardware of the machine.

  • Latest Version causes BSOD

    Hi I read posts about 6.18 aheap version is not compatible with the HP webcam not

    It seems I have the same problem

    There were proposals for links to download 6.16, but none of them work

    I spent hours trying to uninstall reinstall etc etc,

    Very frustrating and a waste of my time.

    Please provide me a link to an older version so that I can continue to use Skype.

    Thank you very much

  • "bad vmx86.sys" problem with Workstation 8 on Windows 7 x 64

    I just upgraded to Workstation 8 (Windows 7 x 64) and I get the following error when I try to create virtual machines:

    "Could not get the vmx86 driver version: the handle is invalid.". You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmx86.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus. »

    If I do, "Run As Administrator" I can make it work.

    Tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    VMPlayer doesn't seem to work either - even with "Run As Administrator". It just hangs.

    I also noticed that I can't change priority in the preferences settings - unless I do "Run as Administrator". I'm logged in as an administrator account.

    So, it seems to be little usually permissions problem - although it still does not seem fix Player.

    I bet that your firewall is Comodo.

    I had the same caveat! Follow the steps and you will enjoy Workstation without administrator privileges:

    (1) open from Comodo

    (2) go on the defense + Tab

    (3) defense + settings

    (4) run settings

    (5) on Exceptions add C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - vmx.exe if you use OS, another C:\Program Files (x 86) 32-bit \VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\vmware-vmx.exe!

    Confirm by pushing OK!

    ...

    ...

    and enjoy your 8 workstation!

  • Incorrect version of the driver 'vmx86.sys '.

    Hello world

    I'm new here so please have patience with mehttp://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif

    I have VMware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130 installed on a Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP1 update to date. I had my computer works fine with all my virtual machines, but now I had this problem I don't know how to fix (tried clean reinstall software package VMware Workstation, a couple of times, but it didn't solve this problem, once had disabled my Comodo Firewall/anitvirus package - doesn't work not always).

    Almost every time, I'm trying to start a virtual machine that runs on another system (so is not the problem of the VM), I get this message:

    Could not get the vmx86 driver version: the handle is not valid. You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmx86.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize the device monitor.

    Followed by a message box saying:

    Cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

    Any advice you could give me? Could not find someone having this problem on the Internet.

    Thank you!

    Just in case if you did not set it again. Just run VMworkstation "as Administrator"

    Kind regards.

  • nipalk.sys, causing the BSOD 000000c 4 Win7 64 bit stop

    I am running Win 7 64 bit and installed "Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8 consumer Preview" today.

    Now, I get the BSOD Stop 0x000000C4 on each time you start nipalk.sys error

    The only work-around, I could come up with is to rename the driver in nipalk.bak, obvisously I can no longer use it in this case so it's not a solution.

    There's a PAL 2.6.5 update on ni.com site, but this does not solve the problem for me.

    Hi grcutter,

    This assertion of specific Verifier, STOP 0xC4 in nipalk.sys with P1 = 0xF6, was reported to R & D such as CAR #185772. It will be corrected in a future version of NOR-PAL, which should be delivered with a future version of any drivers OR you use. Until then, the solution is to disable the "Security controls" setting in the driver verifier.

    Hello

    I used Windows 7 earlier there were many BSOD so I downgraded to Win XP about 6 months back since he could not join the homegroup to another win 7 PC in my house so I decided to again installed Windows 7 after updating my BIOS. However Im getting BSOD even though less frequent than it would have been without update bios (I used to get BSODs during installation of win 7 before the update).

    I do not use any IEEE 1394 device.

    Kindly help, I can't keep on using Windows XP!

    Kindly let me know if anything else it takes to help me with this.

    Hello

    Thanks for the update on the issue. I recommend you to download and install all the latest drivers from the manufacturer's Web site. As this problem generally arises because of the drivers.

    You can see the following link to visit the website of MSI support.

    Finish the dump check

    Unfortunately, even after the recent updates and updates the Microsoft Answers forum still does not prompt for any kind of information system when a new question is asked if we know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Can you make the system crash when you want
    ?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.
    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt
    .  Open BSOD.txt with a text editor, copy the text and paste it in your next reply.
    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

  • Receiver Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 causing BSOD

    It seems to be a growing crowd of users affected by BSOD involving the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouses. I, for example, have the WMM4000 on a 32-bit Vista computer. If the receiver is unplugged, instant BSOD (error IRQL-type). Even in this case, at the time, the laptop will hit just the same BSOD error on its own.

    Is there a definitive answer for fixing these mice?

    TGP

    I beg of you.  These related to the SynTP.sys Synaptics Touchpad Driver.  I would like to re - install the latest driver available.

    You also have a driver that is known to cause called c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys of aft (ALcohol120 or daemon tools).  Which must be removed and replaced.

    Please remove the viewing programs of CD such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

    They use a driver, are in your dmp, called c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys, which is known to cause a BSOD.

    Use this program to uninstall SPTD DuplexSecure
