BSOD - Multiple IRP Complete Requests

BSOD - Multiple IRP Complete Requests

I've been getting a BSOD with the error message "MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS" for the past few days and I can't seem to figure out what the cause is. I've checked the event viewer, and even though its 10:10 PM on my clock, the last recorded event in the event viewer is at 7:25 PM, and it's not even an error. There doesn't seem to be any pattern, and I can't intentionally trigger the BSOD. It just happens out of nowhere. Can anyone tell me what this is and what's causing it?

"Bug Check 0x44: MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS sounds like it's probably a driver bug. Likely candidates: any USB filter drivers (e.g. for VIA chipsets), and the USB wi-fi network interface driver. Check with the manufacturers to see if there is an updated driver for these devices. Also, I seem to remember that there were some significant USB hotfixes between XP SP1 and SP2, so make sure Windows is fully up-to-date including service packs.

Failing that, try using process of elimination to narrow down the problem. Does it still crash if you...

Unplug the USB wi-fi network interface?
Replace it with a different brand?
Plug it into a PCI plug-in USB host controller card instead of the motherboard?

Are you running any applications that stress the network more than most? (e.g. BitTorrent, networked games, etc.) Not that you shouldn't run them, but they tend to bring out the bugs in network drivers."

It's hard to say why it happens unless you have some dump. Here are the steps you could use to configure the dumps
