We sporadically get blue screens which almost always contain the following files:
WINACPCI.SYS
CDFS.SYSor
WINACPCI.SYS
NAIFILTR.SYSAnyone give me a clue.
Whould like to help you do you have the stop code generated by the blue screen for example something like 0x00000024, (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x0000000)

I am getting the same error (winacpci.sys). However, it is on our Dell Poweredge Server. The problem seems to occur when we have a disconnect from our ISP. I have a Modem Blaster 56K modem in their. I was assuming that that is what is causing the problem. If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know as it has been driving me crazy. Microsoft Office is not installed on the server.
Hi!
I installed new best blaster modem.Why I am getting code dump when I try to connect to internet. Please help me!
thanks
Called Creative, I have had same problems in NT 4.0. They suggested to add "AT&F" to "Extra settings" in "Advance connection settings". This sets the modem to factory hardware flow controls. This is working for me. I got the BSOD everytime I went from NT4 to WIN98 then back to NT4 and diled out the second time. If I didn't go to 98 it worked fine.
Nope. Its doing it again. For the first time it did it on another driver. Went into bios and found my CPU voltage was at 1.40 volts. It should be 1.60 volts. I bumped it up to 1.65v. This is an AMD Athlon 600. So far so good.
Ok people try this its been working so far. The extra initialization string in your modem properties make it: AT+IFC=2,2;+VDR=0,0;+VCID=1
See if that works.
I'm getting the same thing now on a PowerEdge 2400 with Win NT SBS 4.5. I called Dell and they said "try to swap out the possibly corrupt winacpci.sys". Now I'm looking to do this... The server (with 7 users has crashed about 20 times in the last 6 months: sometimes in the evenings during ArcServe backup, sometimes in the "heat" of the day, when everyone's working (Proxy server, SQL 7.0, GoldMine, Office 2000)
Any suggestions?
I also have the modem blaster, dual processor pentuim III 733 with 512 meg PC133 ram. Given the different newsgroups seem to link this modem to the crash dump (winacpci.sys) nt4 blue screen of death with sp6. I'm about convinced the creative modem blaster, even though listed on ms hcl, is not compatible.
