551350 2007-05-23 06:40:00 I've run memtest, 2 passes no errors.

I shall let it run longer but I don't think the ram would generate the exact same error every time

551351 2007-05-23 06:43:00 Ok, so what's the best way to go about dealing with the damn thing?

As a matter of fact I just tried that, got a HAMMER_STUCK_IN_CHASSIS_TRAP error....

551353 2007-05-23 06:48:00 You could try the Search button and enter the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL string, and go through the threads that finds. One posting quotes the full message from MS, which implicates drivers. But a few people found memory problems ...

There might be something.

551354 2007-05-23 07:11:00 Hmm this might help (support.microsoft.com)

If u can find this pstat file (which by the looks of it is in a resource kit).

Its a command, and if u type pstat (that 0x8 error at the end of your BSOD), it'll tell u the driver thats using this address.

And will most probably point you to the driver thats giving the BSOD.

551355 2007-05-23 07:19:00 Did you install any supplied drivers for the monitor? Is the new monitor quite similar to the old one?

More information on Stop 0x0A errors here (support.microsoft.com).

551357 2007-05-23 07:39:00 Its always a driver error, occasionally a RAM error.

It may not be the graphics driver at all, could be something else.

Comes in a pack from microsoft "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools (www.microsoft.com)" (validation required) in case anyone else wants the link.

I'm going to check it out in a minute and see what's happening...

The new monitor is totally different, windows is using the generic "plug and play" monitor driver - The old monitor was a Philips 105/S and the new one - well you tell me. I'm going to upload a photo of the back sticker for anyone who wants to have fun trying to identify it.
