I've run into a problem with an application I'm developing in C#/.NET. A problem I can't trace down because it causes my system to crash with a BSOD. Here's the minidump:
060310-27066-01.dmp 03.06.2010 19:47:39 SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b 00000000c0000005 fffff8000306d4d0 fffff8800b107640 0000000000000000 ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+70600 NT Kernel & System Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Microsoft Corporation 6.1.7600.16539 (win7_gdr.100226-1909) x64 C:\Windows\Minidump\060310-27066-01.dmp 4 15 7600
It's not related specifically to DownloadFileAsync. Other methods of the System.Net assembly classes related to HTTP download also make my system crash. I really hope someone can help me with this.
Just for info: other apps (browsers etc.) that download files work like a charm.
If you need further information don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks!
// Update 06.06.2010 - 02:58: Just for info: I ran memtest86+ to check my memory modules a few days ago. There were some errors when all four 2GB modules were installed. I removed 3 of them and checked all 4 modules again one by one without any errors. The BSOD occurs solely when my app is run in the debugger and downloads something from the web.
// Update 04.06.2010 - 18'53: I figured out after testing several things that the BSOD occurs whenever I run my own application inside the Visual Studio 2010 debugger and start a download. Running the app with no debugger attached to it isn't causing the BSOD.
I suppose that the BSOD is somehow related to the debugger.
Alright, just to close this question... Now, two years after I had asked this question, I'm not experiencing this anymore. The problem has dissolved, apparently, because I've reinstalled my operating system several times in the meantime. Unfortunately, I've never figured out why this BSOD occurred.
