Hi,

For the last week my Pentium 4 Windows XP comp occasionally crashes when I turn it on. I get a blue screen telling me I might want to disable Bios cache/shadowing options.

The technical error is:

Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF74A6629, 0xF8916EF4, 0xF8916BF0)

I went to the Intel website and used their automatic diagnostic tool to see if my drivers needing updating. It said I currently had 5.611.1231.2003 Wired Networking and that version 5.639.0118.2006 is available. So I downloaded it and chose "RUN" but I still randomly get the blue error message on start up and the Intel Driver Update Utility still claims my system hasn't been updated!

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me.

Thanks.

Do you know what the second line says?

For example like this...

That will help narrow down what the cause is.

Thanks for your reply! Oddly there is no second line.

Have you tried booting to Safe Mode Windows?
