Optional Offer for WinThruster by Solvusoft Overview of Asyncmac.sys What Is Asyncmac.sys? Asyncmac.sys is a type of SYS file associated with MSDN Disc 0017.1 developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Asyncmac.sys is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This SYS file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'. What Are SYS Files?
SYS files such as asyncmac.sys are third-party (eg. Microsoft) device drivers or critical system files that come as part of the Windows operating system. Most SYS files allow internal PC hardware or attached hardware, such as a printer, to communicate with third-party software programs (eg. Web browsers, word processors, MSDN Disc 0017.1) and the operating system (eg. Other SYS files are critical system files called 'kernel mode device drivers' which are used to power the Windows operating system.
Files such as 'CONFIG.SYS' contain configuration settings and specify what device drivers should be loaded by the operating system. Without driver files such as asyncmac.sys, you wouldn't be able to do simple tasks such as printing a document.
Why Do I Have SYS Errors? SYS file errors are typically caused by faulty hardware or corrupt device driver files. Because of the importance of Asyncmac.sys in the functionality of MSDN Disc 0017.1 and other Windows functions, any corruption or damage to this file can create critical system errors in the form of a 'blue screen of death' (BSOD).
Please see 'Causes of Asyncmac.sys Errors' below for more information. When Do SYS Errors Occur? SYS errors, such as those associated with asyncmac.sys, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. Common Asyncmac.sys Error Messages The majority of asyncmac.sys errors that you encounter will be 'blue screen of death' errors (also know as a 'BSOD' or 'STOP error') that occur in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10:. 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: Asyncmac.sys.'
. ':( Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some info, and then we’ll restart for you. If you would like to know more, you can search online later for this error: asyncmac.sys.' . 'STOP 0x0000000A: IRQLNOTLESSEQUAL – asyncmac.sys'. 'STOP 0x0000001E: KMODEEXCEPTIONNOTHANDLED – asyncmac.sys'.
'STOP 0×00000050: PAGEFAULTINNONPAGEDAREA – asyncmac.sys' In most cases, you will experience asyncmac.sys blue screen errors after you’ve installed new hardware or software. These asyncmac.sys blue screens can appear during program installation, while a asyncmac.sys-related software program (eg. MSDN Disc 0017.1) is running, while a Microsoft driver is being loaded, or during Windows startup or shutdown. Keeping track of when and where your STOP error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem. Recommendation: Optional Offer for WinThruster by Solvusoft Causes of Asyncmac.sys Errors Asyncmac.sys blue screen errors can be caused by a variety of hardware, firmware, driver, or software issues.
These could be related to either MSDN Disc 0017.1 software or Microsoft hardware, but it is not necessarily the case. More specifically, these asyncmac.sys errors can be caused by:. Incorrectly configured, old, or corrupted MSDN Disc 0017.1 device drivers. (very common).
Corruption in Windows registry from a recent asyncmac.sys-related software change (install or uninstall). Virus or malware infection that has corrupted the asyncmac.sys file or related MSDN Disc 0017.1 program files. Hardware conflict after installing new Microsoft hardware, or hardware related to asyncmac.sys.
Damaged or removed system files after you’ve installed software or drivers related to MSDN Disc 0017.1. asyncmac.sys blue screen caused by a damaged hard disk.
asyncmac.sys STOP error due to memory (RAM) corruption. Caution: We do not recommend downloading asyncmac.sys from 'SYS download' sites. These sites distribute SYS files that are unapproved by the official asyncmac.sys file developer, and can often be bundled with virus-infected or other malicious files. If you require a copy of asyncmac.sys, it is recommended that you obtain it directly from Microsoft. Below is a list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your asyncmac.sys problems. These troubleshooting steps get progressively more difficult and time consuming, so we strongly recommend attempting them in ascending order to avoid unnecessary time and effort. Please Note: Click the image to expand the troubleshooting instructions for each step below.
You can also click the image to hide the instructions as you proceed through each step. It's highly likely that your Asyncmac.sys blue screen errors are related to corrupt or outdated device drivers. Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons.
The good news is that you can often update the device driver to fix your BSOD problem. Finding the exact driver for your asyncmac.sys-related hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the Microsoft or related manufacturer's website.
Even if you are experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating drivers, the process can still be very time consuming and extremely irritating. Installing the wrong driver, or simply an incompatible version of the right driver, can make your problems even worse. Because of the time and complexity involved in updating drivers, we highly recommend using a such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Partner) to automate the process. Updates all of your PC device drivers, not just those associated with your SYS blue screen error.
Proprietary One-Click Update™ technology not only ensures that you have correct driver versions for your hardware, but it also creates a backup of your current drivers before making any changes. Maintaining a driver backup provides you with the security of knowing that you can rollback any driver to a previous version if necessary. With updated device drivers, you can finally unlock new hardware features and improve the speed and performance of your PC. Please Note: Your asyncmac.sys may not be related to hardware driver problems, but it's always a good idea to to maximize PC performance. Sometimes asyncmac.sys and other blue screen errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Third-party program installation or malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with MSDN Disc 0017.1, causing asyncmac.sys STOP errors to occur.
Thus, these invalid MSDN Disc 0017.1 registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem. Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid asyncmac.sys keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Incorrectly editing your registry can stop your PC from functioning and create irreversible damage to your operating system.
In fact, one misplaced comma can prevent your PC from booting entirely! Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any asyncmac.sys-related registry problems.
Using a automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your asyncmac.sys error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that can also dramatically improve system speed and performance. Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, we DO NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually.
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Click the Start button. Type ' update' into the search box and hit ENTER. The Windows Update dialog box will appear. If updates are available, click the Install Updates button.
While most storage-related, asyncmac.sys blue screen errors are caused by problems with your hard disk drivers or storage controllers, in some cases these BSODs can be attributed to hard drive corruption. Over time, your PC can develop errors on the hard disk drive due to repeated, unintended misuse.
Improper shut downs, “hard closing” programs, corrupt or incomplete installation of software (eg. MSDN Disc 0017.1), Microsoft hardware failure, and power outages can corrupt your file system and stored data. As a result, you may experience blue screen errors associated with asyncmac.sys. Microsoft has included a convenient utility called “chkdsk” (“Check Disk”) to scan and repair hard disk corruption. If the previous troubleshooting steps did not resolve your asyncmac.sys STOP error, running “chkdsk” may uncover and repair the cause of your BSOD. How to run “chkdsk” (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):. Click the Start button.
Type ' command' in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet!. While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box. A black box will open with a blinking cursor. Type ' chkdsk /f' and hit ENTER.
' chkdsk' will begin scanning for hard disk corruption that could be causing asyncmac.sys STOP errors. Follow the on-screen commands. Complete list of “chkdsk” commands ( Advanced PC users only):. /F – Scans and fixes errors on the disk. /V – Displays every file name in each directory as the disk is scanned.
FAT/FAT32 Drive: This will display the full path and name of every file on the disk. NTFS Drive: Displays cleanup messages. /R – This command locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (assumes /F). /L:size (NTFS only) – This command changes the log file size to the specified number of kilobytes.
It will display the current size if size is not specified. /X – If necessary, it forces the volume to dismount first. All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid (assumes /F).
/I (NTFS only) - Performs a less rigorous check of index entries. /C (NTFS only) - Skips checking of cycles inside the folder structure. /B (NTFS only) - Re-evaluates bad hard disk clusters on the volume (assumes /F).
Sometimes hardware-related asyncmac.sys blue screen errors can be due to memory (RAM) corruption. If you are experiencing random computer reboots, receiving “beep” codes on startup, or other computer crashes (in addition to asyncmac.sys BSOD errors), it is likely that your memory could be corrupt. In fact, nearly 10% of application crashes in Windows are due to memory corruption. If you have just added new memory to the computer, we recommend temporarily removing it to make sure it is not the cause of your asyncmac.sys error. If this action resolves your BSOD, this will be the source of your problem, and therefore your new memory is either incompatible or bad.
If that is the case, you will then need to replace your new memory modules. If you haven’t added any new memory, the next step is to perform a diagnostic test on your computer’s existing memory. A memory test will scan for hard memory failures and intermittent errors, either of which could be causing your asyncmac.sys blue screen of death. Although later versions of Windows include the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, I highly recommend using instead. Is a BIOS-based memory testing software, unlike other testing programs that must run within Windows. The benefit is that it allows you to test ALL of your memory for asyncmac.sys errors, while other programs cannot test the section of memory occupied by the software itself, the operating system, and any other running programs. How to run to scan for memory corruption causing asyncmac.sys STOP errors:.
Grab an unused USB flash drive and connect it to your PC. the Windows MemTest86 USB image. Right click on the image file, and select the ' Extract to Here' option.
Extract the file folder anywhere you can get to easily (eg. Your Desktop). Inside the extracted folder, run the included imageUSB tool, and choose your plugged in USB drive to turn into a bootable drive. CAUTION: this action will erase all data on the USB drive.
Memtest86 will now be installed on your USB and you are ready to test for the possible source of asyncmac.sys errors. Restart your PC with the USB drive installed. Memtest86 will begin testing for memory corruption. Follow the on-screen commands. If all of the above steps were unsuccessful, and Memtest86 finds memory corruption, it highly likely that your asyncmac.sys blue screen error is due to bad memory.
If this is the case, you will need to replace the bad memory to resolve your asyncmac.sys BSODs. For additional help, Corsair has a great video tutorial on how to run Memtest86. Caution: We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve asyncmac.sys problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately to protect yourself from permanent data loss. This step is your final option in trying to resolve your asyncmac.sys issue. Reinstalling Windows will erase everything from your hard drive, allowing you to start again with a fresh system.
Furthermore, a clean install of Windows will also quickly clean out any and all 'junk' that has accumulated over the normal usage of your computer.
