Question

Windows Vista Blue Screen...Any ideas?

Oct 31, 2012 5:14PM PDT

I received a blue screen and this is the info it had:

Mini110112-01.dmp 11/1/2012 3:01:48 AM PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES 0x00000076 0x00000000 0x888c7a50 0x00000001 0x00000000 ntkrnlpa.exe ntkrnlpa.exe+cd1cb NT Kernel & System Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Microsoft Corporation 6.0.6001.18538 (vistasp1_gdr.101014-0432) 32-bit ntkrnlpa.exe+cd1cb ntkrnlpa.exe+9f80a ntkrnlpa.exe+1e3e62 ntkrnlpa.exe+244b07 C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini110112-01.dmp 4 15 6001 156,040


Any ideas on what this could be and how to try to fix it? Please let me know! Thank you!

Was it a one-time happening, does it repeat randomly and without apparent cause, or can you reproduce it?

STOP Error 0x0000076

Microsoft page here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256010

Appears an unknown driver is failing to complete an I/O (input/output) operation successfully.

As this information is really only for those trained in fixing this sort of problem, it is not for newbies or those not certified in such. All it does is help a tech find the offending driver, but does not fix it.

As Kees says, does it occur repeatedly? If a one time thing, leave it alone. Do not modify or change the registry if you do not know what you are doing.

This is a pretty rare error, as Google only reports one hit for this, and it is this one, with the other being your post here.
