Sudden crash

[Activo]

Hello every body
My computer suddenly gives a blue screen that goes away very fast, I can not
read what it says then restarts, this started today, no new installations or
any thing. Occurs during heavy work and multiple programs running.
XP pro SP1
AMD Athlon 1.15 GHz
768 MB RAM
40 G HD for system
80 G HD for docs (separate HD not a partition)
Neither HDs are any where near full

error signature on restart
BCCode : a BCP1 : 00000016 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 804E097C OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 1_0 Product : 256_1

Any help

Thanks in advance

Have you added any new hardware recently?

Occurs during heavy work and multiple programs running.

It might be your RAM, I would suggest testing it.

Download the program at this address:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

It basicly installs some files onto a floppy drive, you boot off the
floppy and it runs some tests on your RAM. If all 6 tests pass then it's
not your RAM at least.

No new hardware installed

Thanks, will try this but need to install a floppy first

Is it set to take a dump? If so then regardless of how fast the message
disappears, you will be able to analyze the dump to find root cause.

Turn off automatically reboot on error. Right click My Computer |
Properties | Advanced | Startup and Recovery settings. Untic
automatically restart. Next time it errors to a blue screen it should
give an error message. Record and post it verbatim.

Also to check the memory try using at least two memory diagnostics. In
addition to the MS one use this one. Let each one run for a while, not
just a single pass.

What problem are you experiencing? Post a new message with info on your
system, what the problem is, what changed right before the problem
started, and what troubleshooting steps you've tried.

right after post start pressing the F8 key until your advance boot
options appear..scroll down to Last Known Good Configuration and press
enter. if that doesnt work try booting in to safe mode and turn off
automatic reboot like rock said. If you can do either of these let us
know

First, why are you replying to me? Reply to the OP. Second, you need
