How to diagnist which program\driver causes Blue Screen on Shutdown?

[Askar Ibragimov]

Hi,

my laptop (IBM ThinkPad T60) causes Blue screen of death on shutdown.
There is some cause indicated, namely STOP: 0x0000000A -
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The installation is rather fresh, but I have
installed many drivers, system updates and software. The BSOD happens
when "Windows is shutting down" appears.

I would like to know whether I can somehow log the process of shutdown
in order to detect problematic program.

Is the Windows XP SP3 update installed.

Stop: 0x0000000A (0x00000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804ea20e)
Anything on the line below the line above?

Background information on Stop Error message
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms793589.aspx

0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or
software. Use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist
above. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode
process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not
have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was
too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that
have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

The question regarding SP3 is just to establish background information
so that it known if and when you come back requiring more help.

Did this problem get resolved?

I encountered almost the exact problem on my Dell PC after the SP3 upgrade. I would appreciate any pointers to how to diagnose the culpit driver that caused the BSoD.

Thanks
