Weird blue screen crash.

[nadirshakur]

My XP crashes when I have a playlist in Windows Media Player and the playing file switches to the net file in the list. Just as it switches I get a blue screen and it boots.

Any ideas?

It happens only with video files.

When I boot back up it tells me the system has recovered from a serious error.

C:\DOCUME~1\OMERSU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf483.dir00\sysdata.xml

it says these files should be included in the report

run a virus scan.

don't use windows media player. Some videos cause my media player to act up, I just use quicktime or realplayer then.

It could also be a crap codec.

use computer management to find the error, start there

Those are the error reports the system generated. Post the entire message from the blue screen. It should include the module in which the fault occured, which is often indicative.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xbfa0b1e3, 0xee2b6ae8, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini032206-01.dmp.

There are a couple of possiblities. In this case, you said it was switching to a networked video file. Was the module listed that the fault occurred in (you can find that by changing your system settings to halt on stops in the System Properties Recovery section - that will stop on the blue screen and you will need to use the power button/reset to restart it.) My first guess (and it is a guess) would be a NIC driver. My second would be a file system driver such as a RAID controller addin or custom USB or Firewire driver.

Without sending use the dmp files, set the system to halt on errors so that you can see the first page of the STOP error.

WOW, you make perfect sense. Unfortunately I had mispelled "next". The files are all local.
