A Windows 11 workstation running a CAD application experiences sudden application crashes during heavy render tasks. Event logs indicate recurring crash events involving faulting module ntdll.dll with memory access violation code 0xc0000005. The technician needs to isolate whether the crash is caused by system file corruption, memory pressure, or third-party background interference. In what sequence should the technician perform the following troubleshooting steps?
- 1Review the Event Viewer Application log to inspect the specific faulting module, exception code, and event timestamps.
- 2Launch Task Manager and Resource Monitor to observe real-time memory usage, hard faults, and disk queue lengths while recreating the heavy render task.
- 3Perform a Clean Boot via System Configuration (msconfig) to disable non-Microsoft startup services and isolate potential background software conflicts.
- 4Run sfc /scannow from an elevated Command Prompt to detect and repair corrupted system binaries.
- 5Re-enable standard boot configuration, verify application stability under normal operation, and document the findings and solution.
Cevap
The proper troubleshooting order follows the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology: 1) Review Event Viewer Application logs to gather specific error details; 2) Monitor real-time performance metrics in Task Manager and Resource Monitor while reproducing the issue; 3) Perform a Clean Boot using msconfig to isolate third-party software conflicts; 4) Execute sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt to repair corrupted system files; 5) Verify resolution in normal boot mode and document the outcome.
The correct sequence adheres strictly to standard CompTIA troubleshooting procedures. The technician starts by gathering crash details from Event Viewer, observes resource metrics during crash reproduction using Task Manager and Resource Monitor, isolates startup items via Clean Boot, repairs system file integrity using SFC, and concludes by verifying and documenting the resolution.
