I'm running a fairly new machine (about 2 months old). It's running XP Pro
SP2. Haven't had a problem until a couple of weeks ago when started taking
various BSOD abends.
According to Event Viewer, the abends were different categories and event
ids. Suspecting memory, I downloaded the MS memory tester and Memtest86+.
Both confirmed memory problems. Ordered new memory. I wanted to try and
figure out which memory stick was bad, so I moved them to slot 1 to run
memory tests against them. You know the story - no problems found. Probably
just needed to reset the boards. I thought problem was solved.....
Tonight, I had another BSOD. System wouldn't reboot until I powered down
the box. Here's the first error found in the Event Log:
Event Type: Error

Searching Microsoft found a hit in Article 925922. It references Hotfix
6294451 for module tcpip.sys. Did some other searching and found references
to updating to latest BIOS and drivers.
Hotfix 6294451 replaces tcpip.sys. It's attributes are:
tcpip.sys 360,704 26 Sep 2006 9:21
The one currently on my system has attributes:
tcpip.sys 352K 30 Oct 2007 12:20 PM
I have 2 question about this Hotfix:
1) The Hotfix module is older than the one I'm running with. Shouldn't the
update from the Hotfix already be included in the one I'm running?
2) Is it possible to backout this Hotfix should it not resolve my issue?
I'm a bit concerned about updating the BIOS. I could be wrong, but these
can't be backed out? Being a mainframer, I'm very careful to introduce any
change that could make matters worse. At this point I don't have high
confidence that either change will fix my issue. I don't like shooting in
the dark.
Is there any other information I can obtain/provide that will help nail down
the problem?
Thanks in Advance!
