Blue Screen Error - ecache.sys

ukmra · 06-18-2008, 12:46 PM

Hi there hope someone can help with this because am going mental over the bsod's i get recently.

running vista ultimate 32 bit sp1.

getting the BSOD error a lot.
mostly with this error message

driver_irql_...

STOP: 0x0000001D
or
STOP: 0x000000D1
or
STOP: 0x00000024

ECACHE.SYS

have run memory diagnostics and also disk checks and all is fine.

can't seem to open the minidump's...how do i do that

anyone experienced this???

have seen the error come with photoshop elements 5.0 (i have downloaded and upodated the vista patch 5.0.2..) but its not consistent.

also i recently installed 2gb ram (1gb blocks ddr2) with existing 1gb (in 500mb blocks)...could that be an issue??

any help or assistance with finding solution would be appreciated..

thanks for all the helpful tips, but as said it was solved by taking the old RAM out.
