I got the BSOD on home edition of vista and I can't figure out why. This is the error code stop 0x00000be (0xc0000005, 0x819f4370, 0x9cad797c, 0x0000000). If anyone has any info please let me know.
thanks,

Did it occur just once, or is it repeating? If it is the "BE" stop, it is a rare bird:

On the other hand 8E errors are quite common and have many causes.

If it is not repeating there is little purpose in trying to troubleshoot it as one would not be able to judge any results.

However we can look at the dump files if you do this:

1 > create a new folder on the desktop and call it "dumpcheck" or whatever you like
2 > navigate to %systemroot%\minidump and copy the last few minidump files to that folder.%systemroot% is normally c:\windows. They are numbered by date. You can paste that address in address bar to get there.
3 > close the folder and right click on it and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.
4 > use the "manage attachments" in the "advanced" reply window to upload that zip file here as an attachment.

This might point us to a 3rd party driver causing the error, if one exists for it.
