Information on Bug Check Code 0x7F http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff559244(v=VS.85).aspx The first parameter in your error is 0x00000008, or Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a call to the handler for a prior exception. Typically, the two exceptions are handled serially. However, there are several exceptions that cannot be handled serially, and in this situation the processor signals a double fault. There are two common causes of a double fault: A kernel stack overflow. This overflow occurs when a guard page is hit, and the kernel tries to push a trap frame. Because there is no stack left, a stack overflow results, causing the double fault. If you think this overview has occurred, use !thread to determine the stack limits, and then use kb (Display Stack Backtrace) with a large parameter (for example, kb 100) to display the full stack. A hardware problem. The skill level needed to use debugging tools is unfortunately usually too high for many computer users. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff551063(v=VS.85).aspx If you have access to a Windows 7 computer and Sky Drive you could post a shared copy of the dump file and there are others in these Forums who might debug the dump file for you. You would need to post a link to the file here. Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

First you should configure your system (if it is not already) to not restart automatically on a system failure and to generate a crash dump file that can be analyzed to zero in on the problem. That will help eliminate the maybe, might be, could be, probably some driver... ideas.If you can make it crash anytime you want by playing your game, that should make things easier.You are unlikely to find enough clues in the Event Viewer logs to figure out what is going on.Configure your system to not automatically restart on system failure (that is what it wants to do):Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery Settings.In the System failure section:Put a check mark in the "Write an event to the system log" boxPut a check mark in the "Send an administrative alert" boxUncheck the "Automatically restart" boxIn the Write debugging information section, choose:Small memory dump (64 KB)Set the Small dump directory to:%SystemRoot%\MinidumpClick OK, OK.Restart your computer. As Gerry C J Cornell says, you can post your crash dumps up to your SkyDrive and I (or someone else) will be happy to peruse them, but that may not be necessary of you do the following things. Well... I'll be happy to do it, I can't speak for anyone else!Now follow these directions... Someday, maybe the XP forums "Ask a question" dialog will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I do not have to ask them every single time.Please provide additional information about your system:What is your system make and model?Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.Does the afflicted system have a working CD/DVD drive?Do you have a genuine bootable XP installation CD (this is not the same as any Recovery CDs that came with your system)?Can you make the system crash any time you want? For example, would you say that there is any particular system activity that coincides with the crashes (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).The next time your system crashes, provide more information about what you see.Here is a BSOD example showing information you need to provide:http://techrepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpgSend the information pointed to with the red arrows (3-4 lines total). Send the entire *** STOP message line since there are clues in the 4 parameters.If there is a file name listed under the STOP message, be sure to include that information too.Skip the boring text unless it looks important to you. We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.Now provide more information about your system and information from the most recent crashes.Click Start, Run and in the box enter:msinfo32Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here.For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here.There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information.This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork.Download BlueScreenView from here:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.htmlUnzip and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let it finish scanning all your crash dump files. If you double click on of the dumps, you will get some information about it (including the Caused By Driver field) and you may be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a pattern in the dumps where the Caused by Driver field is the same (start with that driver).Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking them and holding down the Ctrl key to select multiples files. Try to select just the most recent ones that relate to your issue (maybe five or so dump files to get started).Click File, Save Selected Items and save the information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt. Open BSOD.txt with a text editor, copy all the text and paste it into your next reply.Here is an example of the BSV report from a single BSOD that I initiated on purpose that shows the cause of the crash as the i8042prt.sys driver belonging to Microsoft Corporation:==================================================Dump File : Mini062110-01.dmpCrash Time : 6/21/2010 11:51:31 AMBug Check String : MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASHBug Check Code : 0x000000e2Parameter 1 : 0x00000000Parameter 2 : 0x00000000Parameter 3 : 0x00000000Parameter 4 : 0x00000000Caused By Driver : i8042prt.sysCaused By Address : i8042prt.sys+27fbFile Description : i8042 Port DriverProduct Name : Microsoft® Windows® Operating SystemCompany : Microsoft CorporationFile Version : 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-2108)Processor : 32-bitComputer Name : Full Path : C:\WINDOWS\minidump\Mini062110-01.dmp==================================================Send the information from the last 5 memory dumps (if you don't have 5 memory dumps yet, send the most recent ones you have).

what is your display graphics size???less graphics may tends to restart automatically
