Our desktop computer keeps spewing out this error message when it does a blue screen of death. Does anyone know what it means and how I can fix it before His Lordship gets home and discovers that I've somehow managed to crap up his £800 computer.
Going by the error codes you could have faulty RAM, bad drivers or a software problem. XP is a bit of a cronk when it comes to memory testing, so you either have to use something like memtest or one of microsofts tools - http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
Read all instructions, memory tests are not for the faint of heart and shouldn't be done too often.
If you have an Nvidia graphics card, then update the drivers to the latest ones. I've had nothing but trouble using Nvidia hardware with Vista this year all because Nvidia can't write drivers for vista very well. I have suffered BSOD's a plenty. But the latest drivers are thankfully stable at the moment. Roll on windows 7 i say.
