Blue Screen Of Death.......

hi

I keep getting the blue screen of death.

I am running an HP desktop with a 2.2Gz AMD athlon and XP pro

How can I tell if this is a hardware problem such as a bad piece of memory, or a software problem?

thanks

Look in C:\Windows\Minidump for files with a DMP extension. ZIP some recent ones and post here as an attachment. The dump files can be anaylyzed to help find the problem.

 

For starters, is there any error message when you get the blue screen?

 

it seems like the regular 'blue screen of death' and it sets off into checking the memory. I can not if there is more next time it happens.

I wasn't aware of a regular blue screen of death. Typically you get an error message displayed which helps isolate the source.

 

It just seems like the same bad news screen as I have seen over the years.
It goes into a memory checking mode, I believe.
Next time it happens I will make careful note

Thank you very much for your help.
Perhaps you know the answer to my other problem.

here are my dmp files from c:\windows\minidump

 

I looked at the last six errors. They seem to be completely random which usually indicates a hardware problem rather than a driver or file proble.

I would run a memory test next to make sure RAM is good. http://memtest.org/#downiso

EDIT: EAcceleration Stop-sign Products Firewall also is NOT recommended, and may be malware. I would ditch it and use a known trustworthy firewal such as Zone Alarm.

I will check my memory next.
I had zone alarm, however it conflicted with my webroot spysweeper.

I'm not sure what the Blue Screen of Death is, but this morning we started having problems with our Westinghouse LCD monitor. It's got a bluish tint to it. We reboot it and it's fine for about 30 minutes but then go back to the bluish tint. We're running Windows XP and never had this problem before. Any ideas?
