A quick search found the file was a part of the Conexant Softk56 modem driver. sys extension led to believe it was a device driver. I had no idea what that file was, but it’s. This lauched the debugger gui, which loaded the following screenĪs you can see, the analysis states that the problem was likely caused by hsfhwazl.sys.
#Microsoft debugging tools for windows. install
I also needed a copy of the i386 directory from my Windows XP SP2 install CD, which I copied to my hard drive as c:\i386\. I needed to make sure I downloaded the proper version for both my processor (32 or 64-bit) and operating system. I decided to try using the Windows Debugging Tools to figure out the cause of these errors. I have debugging information written to a small memory dump (aka mini dump), but without special tools, these dump files are indecipherable. Of course I’m never at the computer when this happens, so I haven’t been able to see what messages and parameters are shown on the BSOD.
It doesn’t occur when any particular application is running, and nothing ever is written to the event logs.
Occasionally, my Windows XP SP2 laptop has had the Blue Screen of Death appear unexpectedly.
