Blue Screen Errors

Blue Screens are displayed when Windows encounters an error from which it cannot recover. It can be caused by many different problems. Overlapping IRQ assignments, Bad device drivers, Hardware failures ect. In a last ditch effort to let the administrator know what happened, it performs a memory dump. It takes all of the information contained in memory and dumps it to a file. Most of which would only be helpful to the developers. The information you provided doesnt give enough information for anyone to effectivly guess, and yes I say guess because in many cases its a guess, whats wrong. The most important things to look for are the Word STOP: and the various information in the next couple of lines. It often gives a good starting point. Without this information, all anyone can tell you is,

Did you recently install new hardware? Did you also install a driver for it? Do you use legacy hardware, non-Plug and Play? Did it just start happening out of no where? If it did start happening out of no where, whats going on when it happens. If you send me the complete and accurate information that your having via email, I can perhaps help you more. There are also great tids on the "Blue Screen of Death" or just "Blue Screen" available viahttp://support.microsoft.com Wininternals also has a great bunch of information as well as doing a search here at Tech Republic.
