Turn off automatic reboot. Then, you can copy down the entire message and
post it. Perhaps that will help find your problem.
Somebody else may be able to read the minidump file.

This is most likely a driver issue. Drivers live in NONPAGED_POOL because
they should never ever be sent to the page file. This issue has been
discussed in this newsgroup lots and lots of times. Perhaps you can search
the newsgroup for some threads. Alternatively, you could search the
internet for the subject, or you could search Help & Support for the
subject, or you could see if one of the mvp's sites has an answer.
Sorry, I don't have an answer because I have never had the problem.

Have you searched the internet for this stop code?
One of the mvp's has a list of stop codes and what to do about them. That
is where I would look.

The numbers give more information about the problem. Typically, the first
is the hex value of an address. The fault code defines what the rest mean.
They are, however, hex values.

People with MVP after their names are more experienced. The address of MVP
Kelly's web site, for example, is www.kelly'scorner.com. (Or something
close thereto).

That is only part of the error code information. There should be 4
parameter values and you have given 2 and perhaps part of a third. Can
you double check and give us the complete set of parameters?

This particular error is often caused by defective RAM. Download one
of the following free memory test utilities and run it to check out
the RAM in your computer:
DocMemory http://www.simmtester.com
Windows Memory Diagnostic http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
Memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com

Good luck

It is the same type of error (same STOP code) but the address being
referenced (parameter 1) is slightly different.

Yes, you should try reseating your RAM. And you should also try at
least one of the memory testing utilities I suggested in my previous
posting.

Good luck
