[ros-general] ReactOS BSOD / Freeze on large data transfers (and CPU load?)

[Michael Lackner]

Greetings!

I would like to ask a question, maybe there is already an easy fix for this
that I just cannot find using Google.

So, I have set up ReactOS in both VirtualBox and VMware Player (4.0 & 5.0).

What I am trying to do is to download a large ~700MB file using ftp.exe or
Filezilla 2. Alternatively, I also tried to copy it from an ISO CD image.

This never succeeds however. Either the machine just freezes or BSODs,
according to bt it's something like "can't access memory at <some
address>",
with the error caused by the application doing the transfer.

Mostly it just freezes though, especially when copying from CD ISO.

So what I did then was to boot Knoppix and copy the file to ReactOS's
partition offline. It's actually a video stream file. When I then tried to
run my actual test (x264 video transcode), it works for a few minutes, then
NTOSKRNL.EXE BSODs again, I didn't do a backtrace for that crash yet.

Am I doing something specifically wrong to cause so many Kernel crashes, or
is this still "normal" in 0.3.14? I mean: Is it normal to have the Kernel
crash like that when just downloading or copying some files?!

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!
