I have already verified that my computer is 'clean' and I have also cleared
all the caches for ie etc. I think that the windows verifier is one of the causes of this problem. Concerning the link you provided for windows verifier I don't have any Norton, (and never will have,) software. I have a device driver that is possibly corrupted (or on the edge of failing) but it is not showing via device manager. I want to find out which device driver this is but I don't know where to look besides device manager. Is there another utility, maybe a benchmark tool, that I can use which will test my device drivers other than the verifier that windows provides?. The tmcomm link refers to another av that I have never installed but it was an option to install on the install disc I got with talktalk broadband.

It would help to see the complete Stop Error Report. Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. Does the error occur doring or after the boot process? Does the error occur in safe mode? "I also have the yellow triangle against tmcomm which is stopped but if I try to start it I am told a file does not exist." What is the file named? -- Hope this helps.

the exact stop message is
'0x000000c4,0x0000003c,0x00000000,0x00000000' with text saying a device driver was not working right or text to that effect (I can't remember exactly). It seemed to be linked with running the driver verifier which I was running after getting a 0xc2 (bad pool caller) stop code. I managed to recover using the last known good configuration so I therefore don't know exactly how far back the computer has gone. I could try to run the verifier again but don't want to run the risk of ending up with an un-recoverable system unless it is un-avoidable. The BSD occured after the splash screen just as the desktop is loading. I have tried researching the 0x3c parameter but cannot find any reference for this code in connection with the 0xc4 parameter. the tmcomm error is a code 24 and when I try to start it I get 'the system could not find the file specified.' It does not state which file. Can I just delete this entry and if so what is the safest way to do this.

Okay Lee, can you run this command: sfc /scannow Then run the Ccleaner please and clear all orphans left from old apps/programs may be uninstalled and left debris behind! Also disconnect any extra devices may be connected to this machine and try Clean Boot procedure.

Thanks for your replies.
I have run sfc and ccleaner. Done a clean boot but the problem is not happening at the moment due to the last good configuration I did when it was happening. I still don't know what was causing the problem. Shall I try to run the verifier to see if the problem recurs. Which device driver does the stop code refer to?
