i own a 2 years old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with a windows Xp service pack 2. for the past few months i have been experiencing Blue screen error, frequently. it occurs around 2 to 3 hours after i work on my laptop. i contacted the Dell technical support, and they wanted me to reinstall my OS and Drivers. i did so, but the problem persists. i believe it occurs due to overheating/ hardware problem .
the problem started arising when i used the hibernate option extensively with my audio player still running. the error report was stored in a temp file. this was the stop error. there were various errors at different number of times.
