I am experiencing this BSOD during the first bootup after not using Windows for a while. Normally I will either turn it my computer off or use Linux for a while, restart, boot into Windows, see desktop the for a minute or two, BSOD, restart into Windows, works just fine.
Here is what has appeared in the Event viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000007e (0xc0000005, 0xf75163bc, 0xf7b44ca8, 0xf7b449a4). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini070710-06.dmp.
And from the BSOD itself:
*Above stop code**** inspect.sys - Address F75163BC base at F75514000, DateStamp 4c051483
I have over 20 such events in the event viewer spanning back to June 16, 2010. I can vaguely remember that it started when I replaced the uxtheme.dll file with a hacked version for custom themeing. Replacing it did not fix anything.
Here are some specs:
- OS: Windows XP SP3 Pro 32-bit, fully updated
- Box: Emachines W2060 (yes its old and ■■■■■■, not “fixing” by replacing the computer"
- Processor: Amd Athlon XP 2000+ 1.66 GHz
- RAM: 384 MB
- Firewall: Standalone Comodo Firewall 4.1.150349.920, Windows built-in firewall disabled
- Antivirus: AVG Free 9.0.830
- Relevant Network card: Linksys WUSB54G v4
- Network card driver: Linksys Driver 2.0.0, released 10/17/2005
- Network software: Linksys network manager installed but disabled, using Windows Zero Configuration Utility
This error was discussed in 2007-2008 in this thread, but was never really fixed and the person was simply recommended to replace their network card. This is a known working external USB wireless adapter that does not BSOD any other machines that I test it on, all that have Comodo Firewall.
To reproduce the problem is interesting. Sometimes it will BSOD 2 restarts in a row, other times it won’t BSOD at all. As I said earlier, its usually after not using Windows for a while. When I disabled automatic restarts, it kept BSODing on me until I very quickly turned it off and back on as soon as it appeared.
Attached Linked is a zip file containing 27 dmp files, dating back to June 14th. I can also provide a hijackthis log if necessary. Hopefully this will give the devs enough information to troubleshoot it. (got a “The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.” error when attaching)

What can I do to remedy this problem? Am I missing software, updates, driver versions, etc?
Thanks
