computer restarts occasionally having recovered from a serious error

[djshowdown]

this has been happening for a little while now

it seems to happen when i use azureus for extended periods of time


up until today i hadnt actually SEEN it happen but earlier i had the honour of seeing it first hand

it blacks out completely and restarts, then upon restarts i see an error message saying 'windows has recovered from a serious error'

then there is a bit that says click here for more details

i click it and it displays the following

BCCode : 100000d1 BCP1 : 00000018 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : F7A65AA1 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 768_1

anyone got any ideas why this is happening?

The exact error is slightly different, but it appears to be a driver problem. (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316424)

anything i can do to narrow down the problem and solve it?

Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. :(

Go to System Properties>>>Advanced>>>Startup & Recovery>>>Settings and uncheck the box marked "Automatically Restart" located in the "System Failure" section. This will leave the BSOD on the screen for you to examine. See if you can spot the device from there.

The usual culprits are Video, Network, and Audio, but I'd do what I suggested above before you start trying to fix it by seeing if you get lucky with one of those.

Let us know what you find. :)
