Hi,
I have an AMD 2000+, Asus A7.. motherboard with 256 DDR RAM machine
with Windows XP . The machine reboots now and then while running some
programs. While rebooting it shows a blue screen with following
messages.
--------------------------------------------
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart
your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is
identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the
manufacturer for driver update. Try changing video adaptors.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS
memory options such as caching and shadowing. If you need to use Safe
Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8
to select Advanced Startup Options and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000008e (0xC0000005, 0x80565D63, 0xF5884BE4, 0x00000000)

Beginning dump of physical memory

Physical memory dump complete

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for
further assistance.
----------------------------------------------

I tried several of options given in the messages but of no use.When
searched in the net about this problem i found that lot of people are
having this and ppl also call this blue screen death.
I have also tried installing linux and that also crashes the system and
from that i have infered that it cannot be a driver problem. From the
little knowledge i gathered from the net i find it is of hardware and
following can be the reasons of the problem

1) Power supply.
2) RAM(memory stick)
3) MotherBoard
4) BIOS
5) AMD processor

I would like people who have encountered and solved the same problem
help me and tell what exactly helped them to solve the problem.

Regards
Anand

Hi

The best approach in this blue screen situation is to systematically
remove components from your system and slowly start adding them back.

I'd remove everything - all sound cards, network cards, etc. Leave only
the monitor, motherboard, CPU, primary hard disk and video card. Then
book again. If it works well, add in one component and retry. Retry
until it gives a blue screen - that last component you added is likely
to be the cause of you woes.

Best Regards,

Blue screens are almost always caused by a bad software driver, not hardware
equipement itself. Have you added any hardware or software to the computer
lately?

I have to completely disagree. Hardware is just as likely a cause as
software. Memory, NICS, and USB devices are particularly known to cause
blue screens. Another possibility is the PSU. Making blanket statements
about bluescreens is misleading.

Whatever. I work on computer for a living and stand by my original
statement that the vast majority of blue screens are caused by drivers.
