Blue screen of death is where windows cannot carry out an instruction and generates a halt to the system. Given the error message you are getting, I would strongly suggest that Terraplane is on the right path - you would appear to have a faulty device driver. The best way to identify this is to run windbgr - which is a free download from Microsoft. Each time your computer crashes, it writes a log detailing the crash to a folder in windows. Windbgr will help you extract and identify what's causing it. Firstly, you will need to click: Start/mycomputer/right click on properties then click on the advanced tab then start up and recovery tab, then set debugging information to be written as a kernel memory dump.

This ensures the error report goes to where windbgr can find it. Next, have a quick read here:http://www.networkworld.com/news/200...sh.html?page=2 This will tell you how to run windbgr.

It all sounds long winded, but it's not too difficult at all & it will identify the fault in your system.
