Intel processor bug causes Windows 2008r2 guest to blue screen

We recently purchased several B200-M3 blades with E5-2680v2 processors. Our UCS infrastructure and blade firmware is at 2.2(1d). ESXi hosts are at 5.5u1.
From my reading of the Release Notes, this makes the new blades vulnerable to Caveat CSCuo30572 which is a bug in the v2 processors that can cause Windows 2008R2 guests to blue screen.
VMware KB2073791 also deals with this bug
The Intel Erratum is C135
Updating the firmware (2.2(1d) probably to fixed version 2.2(3d)) is a relatively long process in our environment.
Has anyone experienced this bug? Do the guests blue screen at any particular time; e.g. when booting? Are Windows 2012 guests impacted? One of our new v2 blades was running Windows 2008R2 guests for about a week without any known problem. It has since been taken out of production.
The Release Notes (2.2) description for CSCuo30572 is: "Intel v2 processors no longer cause PSOD with Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 VM guests." Should the PSOD (ESXi crash) actually be BSOD (Microsoft crash)? Or can ESXi purple screens be caused also, crashing the entire host?
The Release Notes also indicate that the Caveat is resolved in release 2.2(2c)A. Does the A indicate that an Infrastructure update is all that is needed? That does not seem like it would supply the fixed microcode to the processors via BIOS.
I'm basically looking for some insight before proceeding with another FW update. Thank you.

Yes, it refers to Infrastructure (UCS Manager, FI and IOM). You could just upgrade the infrastructure to 2.2.3d and leave your Servers at 2.2.1d

Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
Thanks,

I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
After making those changes it worked like a charm.

Hello Customer,
Thank you for using TechNet Forum, and also many thanks for Aaron's assistance.
Please note, this forum is for General questions on Windows Server 2008. I suggest you try to post Windows Server 2003 related issue to the Windows Server 2003 Newsgroup for your best serve:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/serveros/win2003.mspx
Thanks for your understanding.
Moreover, the blue screen is mostly caused by hardware or drivers incompatibility. I suggest you take a look at the following website

Windows 7 CLFS.sys Blue Screen

Yesterday I installed Visual Studio 2013 which required a reboot. Immediately after rebooting the system I got a BSOD caused by clfs.sys with error 0x50 and the following message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. I tried LITERALLY everything I found online
(including related topics posted here) but none worked. At this point, I can't even boot to Windows. It immediately crashes on the loading logo.
So I gave up and decided to reinstall the OS. After inserting the bootable USB, I still get the same BSOD!!! I don't understand why this happens
when trying to install a clean version. This didn't make sense to me, so I used Bootable Partition Wizard and completely
wiped out and formatted my C: drive hoping it would at least let me reinstall Windows. Surprisingly that didn't help either. I still get a blue screen when booting into the installation disc.
I'm totally lost at this point. What is going on? How could this possibly happen when booting into the installation disc?? Do I have to do something with the master boot record? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AM
Could be hardware, MBR/EUFI, a corrupt win 7 image, or many other things. So where are you now? Is there any bootible OS on the system? Have you tried booting into safe mode (F8)?
If you cannot boot you have a brick. If you are comfortable with it you may need to start pulling out hardware to see if you can it to boot in any manner, or perhaps take the HD to another computer, etc.
Should you ever get to where you can boot we need the DMP files to diagnose
We do need the actual log files (called a DMP files) as they contain the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded,
and what was responsible.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here
If you have any questions about the procedure please ask

Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit - blue screen error on both nodes

Hi Everyone,
I installed Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit, The installation was successfull and crs_state -t shows all services in two nodes are online.
When executed a select query with 100 sessions( For performance evaluation using Transaction generator ) ,the machine got crashed and blue screen is appeared on two nodes. I restrated the machines and and starts the same evaluation ,bt the same bug is repeating.
Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue? Is our hardware is not sufficient ? Shall we need to perform any
specific settings in Oracle RAC setup for performance evaluations?
Is our settings for load balancing is not enough? ( We added "Load Balancing= On" on tnsnames.ora on client for load
balancing)
The following machine configuration is used for Oracle RAC setup
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
Ram :4GB.

Lion OK so far, except Windows 7 under BootCamp blue screens within 10 sec of login.

Lion OK so far, except Windows 7 SP1 under BootCamp blue screens within 10 sec of login. "Cache_Manager" stop: 0x00000034 is cited, suggesting driver issue, but maybe memory or HD corruption. Memory (incl. 4 GB RAM) is fine and CheckDisk has been run on partition apparently fixing files hanging from multiple blue screens. Blue screen not seen under Windows Safe Mode + Network. Is there a Boot Camp driver issue with Lion? Any suggestions?

And you attempted to fix any bad sectors, yes?
Did you download and use Boot Camp 4.0 drivers?
The 3.0 was known for some people due to AppleHFS.sys AppleMNT.sys - rename to disable or use 3rd party HFS+ driver would help. HFS filenames with special characters will trigger a 'green bar' in Explorer if you open a folder with such filenames.
As for drivers... you can try rolling back, restore point, uninstalling, even using 3.0 and upgrade to 3.2 until any issue with 4.0 is fixed and resolved (or bug acknowledged).
One person (Boot Camp forum) had trouble with 4.0, and downgraded. Also, the Windows Boot Camp OS Switcher (BC control panel) would not function.
It is always hard to rule out RAM. AHT (not sure how to run on Lion only but you have your OEM DVD), Memtest is more "nothing found" does not mean "no problem." Swapping out RAM is sometimes the only recourse. Windows DVD does have memtest included.
Disk drives: the manuf. own utility (WD Lifeguard etc) is best tool to find problems, map out bad sectors, restore a drive to health.
Have not seen any mention though.

Below are the various error messages I received this week.

So pressing the power button and then immediately tapping the F8 key about every half second does not start Safe Mode?
Safe mode will allow you to access Windows system restore, which will allow you to recover to a restore point dated before you had this problem without deleting any of your data. System restore is also reversible.
That is a bit surprising. The test you posted the results of show that the memory and the hard disk are fine, so it is an operating system issue. If you try again to access safe mode without success then you only have a few options.
1) remove the disk from the notebook and put it in an enclosure to copy the data and files you have it to another PC
2) perform a factory image recovery to recover your notebook to a useable condition (unfortunately deleting all of your personal files and data)

Need to reinstall windows 7 after a blue screen crash PLEASE HELP!

I was advised by a technician that I need to have the windows 7 home premium reinstalled after I suffered a blue screen error crash that will not allow the windows to start, it will not allow me to restore at all after trying numerous ways under the instructions of the tecnician by phone. This was a one time help by phone. I cannot afford to pay a professional for this service as I am disabled and on very limited income. I rely on this laptop so much that I am attempting to do this myself under someone's help. This laptop (HP Pavillion g6t-1b00) came with windows 7 Home prem. pre-installed so I do not have a disc (but I do have the original product key sticker)... I have no idea where to find this disc or how to do the reinstall and I desperately need someone's help asap...

The laptop came with software to make a Recovery Disc set. If you did not make it you can order a set from HP. Usually around $16 for Windows 7 media. https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/mediaOrder?cc=us&lc=en&productOid=5112032&softwareitem=659152-001 Some are reporting trouble using the ordering process. If you can't order there fill out the form on this page for more help. https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Pavilion-g6-1b00-Notebook-PC-series/5082228/model/5112032

Windows 7 installation error (Blue Screen)

I recently installed Boot Camp on my Mac Pro so that I could install Windows 7 Ultimate. I followed all the instructions. Once I get to the part where Windows is installed my Mac Pro restarts and I get a blue screen with a bunch of errors. Then my Mac Pro restarts again and I am giving the "Windows was not shut down properly message" and asks me to choose a start up option. No matter what option I choose the same thing happens over and over. Can anyone help?

Apple doesn't support Windows 7 on our MacPro1,1. There is a llst of supported Mac of all things.
To use more than 1.9GB RAM you need 64-bit which won't boot from Windows 7 DVD.,
Okay, you want to put both on one hard drive; I don't. So you need BCA which is also semi crippled.
Lion: too early except to test drive.

When tryed to run diagnostic test windows blacked out then blue screen ipad will not turn on now

when I ran a diaganostic test windows blacked out and then the "blue screen of death"........and now my ipad will not turn on ......has anyone had this problem ?...if so...what now

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Image Processor bug causes PS to crash (CS5, 12.0.4, Win7x64) -

Hi,
I'm trying to process 64 RAW files using Image Processor, and I noticed that Photoshop (x64, I don't have the 32-bit version installed) never closes any of the files after it has processed them. This causes the RAM to fill, and eventually Photoshop to crash. I tried both via Bridge (Tools --> Photoshop --> Image Processor), and Photoshop itself. I have a new system with 8GB RAM, and when I start up Image Processor, Task Manager tells me PS eats away 6.5-7GB of it during the first minute. Shortly after PS crashes.
My updates are up-to-date according to the update manager. I haven't had this problem ever before, so the cause must be the 12.0.4 update (or the one before it). Is there a workaround or an update on the way? Maybe this is a known bug. I found out that people have experienced the same behaviour with CS4.
Kind regards,
Kimmo

Sorry for the delay in response; the Adobe server for logging in was down for hours.
The reason I'm on the latest drivers is that I made a clean install of Windows 7 a couple of days back.
Regarding the Intel driver I mentioned I downloaded: I had to go another route; the Intel driver "was not validated for this system", so I had to get the latest driver from the manufacturer of the computer -- which kind of sucks, to be honest. Well, anyways, the driver version from the manufacturer is the same I had from Windows Update (i.e. not the latest possible), but I went and installed it anyway -- thinking that maybe it's been "customized" somehow...
Unfortunately it brought no change. Action B still accumulates files while others do not.
I should clarify that the reason why the "Wood Frame" kept accumulating files in the PS main window was that it never finished the process. I tried it to run on pictures that were larger than what it was designed for and thus it stopped mid-process and left the window open.
(BTW: I'm talking about windows and tabs interchangeably here)
"Action B", as I've called it in this thread, does generate a final, processed JPEG, but apparently it doesn't return a confirmation of it finishing to the Image Processor. Without Image Processor knowing that the script finished successfully it leaves the file open.
I see that in File --> Automate --> Batch it is possible to have the process "Save and Close" each file it processes. Maybe it would be beneficial to have a similar function for Image Processor. And not only "just in case" -- the user might actually want to leave all the files open, who knows, but in situations like these a forced closing of a file -- be it finished or not -- would be nice.
I would also like to point out to other people reading this thread that, while this problem can be fixed by simply remaking the troublesome action, I feel finding the cause for it would benefit a lot of people too. Maybe the action was corrupted somehow, maybe PS 12.0.4. has a bug that makes my "Action B" from 11/2011 incompatible -- would be nice to know, huh?

I have installed windows on my macbook pro several times and everytime i let windows update i get the driver irql not less or equal error. i do have the nvidia gpu and i know there are some driver issues with this on the new windows updates. i attn this to you The Hatter cause i remember seein some of your post that had possible solutions to this, i just cant remember the threads....
if you or anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated, i have already disabled the driver so it is stable, and have yet to update xp, but diableing the driver is annoying with the windows lagging and the lagging in the scrolling.
Thanks You

Does anybody have any ideas? Please, this problem is getting a bit irritating and I know there has to be a solution to it.
