Vista BOS when sleeping..

[z0mbi3]

Can't be too specific as I'm not infront of the box at the moment, but basically this morning I thought I'd leave the PC sleep rather than turn it off.

Whilst it was going to sleep a BSOD flashed up saying something along the lines of "IRQ not equal to" or something like that.

I'm running a DFI NF4 Ultra D, 4400+, 4 gigs of ram. I'm not running any new overclocks, and the one I'm running now has been rock solid for awhile.

I don't make a habbit of puting it to sleep often, and I recall testing out a few freeware ftp servers yesterday, but I doubt these had anything to do with it.

So my question is have any of you guys had anything similar happen or does anyone know of any fixes or work arounds for it?

I'd take a look at the .dmp file which would have been created with the BSOD to get more information from the crash. You can get the debugging tools for windows here.

What'll you want to do is download those and install.
Then run the program and click on File->Symbols Path
In the window that pops up type: SRV*c:\tmp_symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
Then file->Open Crash Dump
The dumps are normally located in C:\windows\minidump, so browse there and find it
When you've opened it, it'll take a few seconds to open, at the bottom it shoudl say "Debugee not connected" that'll eventually turn to "kb>" and you have a box to type in.
In there type: !analyze -v
That should give you full information on the crash, including the faulting program.

Excellent stuff. I'll be sure to give this a go.
