BSOD

My trusty 4 year old Dell Inspiron 630M running Win Xp SP3 has started to produce the BSOD after it has been on (usually hooked up to the mains) for a while. It will restart via Safe mode and I have done all the usual things such as System Restore, run MBAM, defrag, Avast scan, CCleaner etc. I have not made any changes to programmes etc and all MS updates are incorporated.

The BSOD says - apart from the usual blurb - "STOP:0x000000F4 and, in brackets,

ox00000003
0x8A47D340
0x8A47D4B4
0x805C8C7C"

I have spent quite a time on Googie and also on the MS website, but not being an IT genius, I find it difficult to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

Can anyone please help me with a decode of this lot or point me towards where I can get some understandable decode of these codes. I suspect it may be to do with overheating, but the fan can still be heard from time to time.

Thank you
