Can anyone decipher this error?

[Bryan]

The computer pariodically Blue Screens and dumps physical
memory. I get a message:

"Error code 000000f4, parameter1 00000003, parameter2
852d5c08, parameter3 852d5d7c, parameter4 80606586"

Is this maby a Driver? How do I isolate this? Please Help.
My system has an P4 hyper-Threading cpu (2.8 GHz) on an
ASUS P4P800E-Delux Mainboard.

Best places to check first is your device manager and

the Event Viewer for errors and problems. The event
viewer is in the control panel, administrative tools.

Do you have differnet memory modules [older and newer perhaps?].

Have you run a full virus scan? Be very sure. A client today complained of
similar problems 'absoulutely virus free they said': until I found 6 copies
of the same Trojan and Worm.

Hello Bryan,

What this stop error means is that a critical process such as csrss.exe has
terminated and it shouldn't. Root cause of the problem can be determined
from the memory dump file.

This can be something as simply as another process terminating csrss.exe
intentionlly or a misbehaving application including viruses. The technical
definition is provided below in the notes section.

You can use the following article to get more information out of your dump
and post back the results of !analyze -v.

How to read the small memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q315263#7

The results of !analyze -v can actually solve many issues, because the
drivers and functions that led to the problem will be listed. For example,
you can disable or remove the misbehaving application or driver. More
complex issues will require analysis by an engineer.

Various articles describe steps to help troubleshoot stop errors and resolve
most issues, but sometimes dump analysis is required.

Hay, Thanks for the concern- I posted many times and you
were the first to answer my call. Anyhow, I had a PCI
video card on PCI1 and another video card in the AGP slot-
I guess some motherboards lump those two slots together. I
moved the pci card to PCI2 and now the video performance
has dramatically improved and the mysterious crashing
seems to have stopped. I appreciate your help though.
Thanks.
