I have a Windows 7 VM (ESX) with Visual Studio 2012 that handles continuous integration for a large C++ project. The solution currently builds with the /MP flag, but bluescreens have occurred using IncrediBuild as well.
It usually takes a couple of hours for it to bluescreen, and I've spent weeks trying to track down the source of the issue by installing various sets of software. At one point I saw a "Intel C++ Compiler Driver" crash message, and when I hit end process it rebooted the system, but I can't be sure that was the same issue.
Some things I've tried:
- Clean of Windows 7
- Visual Studio with no updates
- Visual Studio with Update 4
- Building with Incredibuild
- Building with MSBuild
- Visual Studio Patch KB2781514
The crashes usually seem to involve file io and when the system is doing a second task, but it only writes a minidump file occasionally. Here is a crash from yesterday:

Any tips on how to try and track down the cause are greatly appreciated.
