    Janice's computer crashes

    Submitted by gill on

    The first crash was DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL which resulted in a STOP 0x000000D1. The
    error was in VIDEOPRT.SYS. Search turns up nothing specific, but an upgrade of video drivers may be the answer.
    The second crash was a STOP 0x0000008E in WIN32K.SYS. Search turns up this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834450
    The third crash is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL which resulted in a STOP 0x0000000A
    The fourth crash is again DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL which resulted in a STOP 0x000000D1 VIDEOPRT.SYS.
    Another STOP 0x0000008E!!!
