hey

i got the same problem, but sometimes the message changes(were going back about 1 and a half weeks ago). like for example when the first message came up it had
***STOP 0x0000004E (0x0000008F, 0x0001B11F, 0xFFFFFFF, 0x00000000)
this came up a few times and then this came up
0x0000008E
and also
0x0000007F

Im getting sick of this , i have tried uninstalling software and even did a clean install and also redid some of the drivers that i changed and still it came up with error messages! please help!!!

some people say that its a problem with norton AV - they sent out a bodgy virus update and only affected a small amount of computers, others say that it could be a hardware problem - like bad ram.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

hey thanks guys. it might be a blend of both your answers because ive installed all the updates and security updates wen i installed windows straight away, and we all know wot happens to windows when u dont. i read that website 'catweazle' gave me and it explained that it stops you from downloading updates for windows making its life on my computer alot longer - im downloading the patch as i type and hopefully that will help me, but if not ill have to look for this anoying little virus manually and get rid of it.

thanx for ya help

please help,

lately my computer has been restarting for no reason, it doesnt matter wether im playing a game or just on the net - i would just be doing anything and it would restart without notice! im guessing it mite be harware related because it never used to do that when i first bought the computer. help would be appreciated

fanx
