IBM Thinkpad Laptop Crashes

[DaveLembke]

 :-? :-?Anyone have a decoding reference or seen this error before to know what is causing it? I thought it was the hard drive, so I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP2, and performed all updates, but she is still having a problem with the system. I know its not the hard drive or anything on it. Any suggestions or tools that might bring the problem to the surface???

This is what my friend reported to me:

Laptop crashed  went to blue screen and said it was dumping files. Here is the error signature:
Same thing it did a week or two before a total clean reinstall of OS Windows XP Pro SP2 on IBM Thinkpad Laptop 512MB Ram, 40GB HD, Pentium 4 CPU.

I hit the Google button for you and found this

These guys seem to think its a Ram problem

i would tend to agree blue screens are often caused by memory read write errors, and since its a new install of XP its probably not an application trying to write to protected space

Hey panboy ... I will check into the memory. Hoping it has 2 sticks so I can have her remove one and see if the problem goes away vs buying new Ram to test this.

Thanks
