I have put together some common BSoD stop codes - not really sure if it's any use to anyone but feel free to change or add any of your own. :)

:thumb:

Stop Code:
STOP 0x0000000A
IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL

Code Meaning:


A Faulty device driver or service from a backup utility or virus scanner has failed

Recommended Resolution:


Remove, disable or stop the drivers (which are causing the issue), backup utilities or anti-virus programs. Update software from the manufacture

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop Code:

STOP 0x0000001E
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Code Meaning:


Some driver files could cause the problem.



Recommended Resolution:

Remove, disable or update the driver file listed in the error message. Verify that new hardware is correctly installed (if necessary)



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop Code:
STOP 0x00000024

NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM

Code Meaning:


Usually caused by disk corruption in the NTFS file system or third-party disk defragmenters.



Recommended Resolution:

Use hard disk diagnostic software to verify that the HDD is working.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop Code:

STOP 0x00000050

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Code Meaning:


Caused when data is requested and is not found in memory; the system checks the file, but the missing data is Identified as unable to be written to the page file

Recommended Resolution:


Remove any newly-added hardware or run diagnostic software supplied by the manufacturer to check if the component has failed. Install updated device drivers or roll back to a previous driver.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Stop Code:
STOP 0x0000007B

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Code Meaning:


This is caused when Windows is unable to access the system partition/HDD during the Startup process. This can be caused by: an incorrect driver for a SCSI, RAID, or IDE controller; incorrect path in the Boot.ini; or a failed boot device. Also a corrupt HDD can also cause the problem.

Recommended Resolution:


Verify that the disk storage device is installed correctly and working. Reinstall or update the device driver. Verify that the BIOS setting for the device is correct. Verify the integrity of the hard disk. Another option (which isn’t always the best) is to reformat and reinstall Windows



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Stop Code:

STOP 0x0000007F
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Code Meaning:


This is usually hardware related - especially RAM. Can also be caused by CPU overclocking or a defective Motherboard.

Recommended Resolution:
1) Run the memory diagnostic to test RAM.
2) Restore over clocked settings to previous values.
3) Repair/replace the motherboard.

I've edited out the quote Wiz, as it was huge in this case ;)
