[mike]

Windows keeps crashing to a blue screen and giving me one
of two errors, page fault in non page area, or driver
irql not less or equal. Can anyone help me undrstand
what this means?

The blue screen usually gives you the name of a driver that crash.

What is the name of the file?

Thanks

I have the same problem, but the blue screen flashes so quickly I can't read it. How do I hold this screen?

I have same shutting down problem. Usually within the first 5-10 minutes of powering up laptop, I get the blue screen for about 1/2 second (can't read anything) and then laptop restarts and the problem does not come up again until I restart next day. HOW DO I FREEZE BLUE SCREEN SO I CAN READ THE ERROR?
