I am trying to resolve a Stop Error Problem on my daughters XP SP2
Home computer.
I have googled extensively as well as visited the Microsoft KB and
looked at Jim Eshelmans (http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm) excellent
pages.
I have run numerous MemChecks and ChkDsks everything there seems ok.
I understand that there are a number of possibilities for the error
and am trying to pin it down to something more precise.
The strange thing about this error is that it only happens once per
day - on initial boot up - and doesn't happen every day.
On the occasions when it does happen, reboot and everything is fine
for the rest of the day.
That would seem to suggest that a program or event which only occurs
once per day on initial boot is causing the problem, but I can't
identify what that might be. I uninstalled the Virus Checker (AVAST)
which does check for updates daily, and it ran OK for a while, so I
installed AntiVir as an alternative, but the problem has come back.
There are no activities in Windows Scheduler.
The only regular pre scheduled activity is a backup using EZBackup,
run every day at 8.00pm daily (assuming the machine is on at the
time).
I'm getting pretty stumped and would appreciate any suggestions for
further remedial or diagnostic action.
