Windows XP keeps a special log of all BSoD errors, called a Watchdog Event Log. Unlike a memory dump, whose creation is the result of a BSoD error, a Watchdog Event Log is a straight text file that is easier to read and understand. This should help confirm what is really causing the problem.
Here's how you access a Watchdog Event Log:
1. Use Windows Explorer to access the C:\Windows\LogFiles\Watchdog folder. 2. Locate and right-click the most recently dated .WDL file. 3. Select the Open command from the context menu. 4. In the Windows dialog box, choose the Select The Program From A List option and click OK. 5. When you see the Open With dialog box, select Notepad and click OK
