PC crashes and reboots

My Gateway PC crashes and reboots at random times. The same stop error
message shows each time. Would appreciate any help in determining what it is
and how to correct problem. The error message is:

Hi rond,

What is the STOP error message? A lot of possibilities have been documented
here for that Event ID:

Hi Patti -

The stop error message is that the system has recovered from a serious
error. It then goes on to note that it was caused by a device driver but
doesn't say which driver.

Appreciate your quick response and help

Going by the error code, 000000fe, seems it may be related to USB drivers. Do
a Google search or search the Gateway support site for references to
0x000000fe or 0xfe

Hi Patti -

I updated the drivers for my Locitech MX 700 wireless mouse, NVIDA GeForce
4400 video card and replaced the Netgear USB to Ethernet Adapter wirh a new
ethernet card. Haven't experienced a systems crash since.

Thanks for putting me on the right tradk. Really appreciate it.

Hi Patti -
Been out of town so am behind on almost everything. But, to catch up -
I downloaded and installed new video drivers for my NVIDA graphics card and
for my Logitech wireless mouse. then I took out the USB to Ethernet adapter
I had been using to connect to my router, replacing it with a 10/100/1000
ethernet card.

Haven't had one of these crashes yet. You were right on about it being a
USB problem. I think it was the D-Link USB to Ethernet adapter.

Thanks again.

No problem, I definitely know what it's like to be behind on almost
everything. Thanks for taking the time to keep me apprised of the situation
