Blue screen stop code....

[Ext User(skew)]

First, thanks in advance for help. My computer seems to work fine except
when I try to do a copy in Casper XP to backup my hard drive to external HD.
I also got this stop code last night when trying to do a disk check to
correct errors.

Stop 0X0000000A (0X00000188, 0X000000FF, 0X00000000, 0X804E35E9).

I have located online page for stop 0X0000000A codes which states could be
driver problem... that last one parimeter 4 -- 804E35E9 how/where would I
find out which/if this is associated to a particular driver so I can
possibly correct it? Thanks...

STOP 0X0000000A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

This can be any of hardware device error, software error, or general hardware error.

Also, if you have any 3rd-party CD software, CDR - CDRW writing software, make sure it is XP compatible. Make sure it has the latest patches & updates.

See tips on driver verifier below.

A useful set of tips from Joshua Smith at MSFT:

<begin quote>
To determine what driver is causing the problem I need you to enable driver verifier.
Steps:
1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot


There is a possibility that your computer will crash on reboot. If this
occurs hit F8 when rebooting just before the windows logo screen and select
the safe mode boot option. Follow the same steps above but on step 4 choose
'Select driver names from a list'; hit next; check the box next to any
driver where the provider is not Microsoft; hit Finish; reboot.


This will slow the performance of you computer a little while enabled but will hopefully catch the driver causing corruption. Next time you crash the blue screen will hopefully say something like
"DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOL**ATION".

If this is part of text displayed after the blue screen, disregard for the time being. At this time, there's no need to fool around with BIOS.

Maurice,

Thanks for all your help. I think I fixed the problem by just deleting a
MMP8500 Memorex mp3 player driver I don't use anymore. I did the verifier
and it slowed computer down considerably --only problem I couldn't get
casper xp (my backup prog) to get a blue screen to check on verification.
Instead, it gave me another "general" error with several possibilities.
Anyway, after deleting that I ran Casper XP and got through without the blue
screen. I do recall now on that Memorex I had downloaded some firmware for
it and that might just be the problem....

OK. Thanks for the update. Yes, driver verifier will indeed slow it down.
