hi everyone. ah man....bsod really sucks. i'm using a dell 4600, xp pro. installed azureus not too long ago....and not sure if they're connected, but i've gotten the bsod twice since then. i was reading through some older threads, and thinking my problem could be bad ram. installed an extra 1gig of ram several months ago, but i never saw this problem when i initially installed it...... any help would be much appreciated....thanks in advanced. event viewer....10/7/2005 Error code 00000096, parameter1 b1cabd5c, parameter2 805694fc, parameter3 805694c0, parameter4 f7799aa6.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. will these system errors destroy my data? should i reformat? change ram? thanks so much!
Hello and welcome to Techspot. If you zip five or six of your most recent mindumps up, and attach them here, someone will take a look at them. You can find your minidumps in c/windows/minidumps folder. Regards Howard :wave: :wave:
From only two minidumps it`s hard to be 100% sure but, ssrtln.sys would seem to be the culprit. This a driver for some kind of dvd/cd burning software. Sonic solutions, the makers of roxio etc, seem to be the makers. What burning programme/s do you use? I can find no reliable info for the ssrtln.sys driver. I advise you to uninstall any, and all burning software from your computer. See if your problem goes away, then start reinstalling the software one programme at a time(this is if you use more than one programme for burning, which isn`t a good idea.), and testing your system. Regards Howard
howard, thanks so much for the advice. i've uninstalled the sonic...i guess it was preinstalled as a dell package. no bsod's thus far. i'd call that a success. thanks again. this site is awesome. daniel.
