    I have an older Dell comp that is running Windows XP version 5.1.2600. It seems to be crashing randomly. I have been combing over the event logs and can't really pin point what is happening. I have received 2 different sets of error codes. Is there a site where I can find out what these numbers refer to? I am pretty decent at trouble shooting but other than thinking the power supply might be going I am stuck. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

    Error code 1:

    BCCODE: 1000007e
    BCP1: C0000005
    BCP2: F7B77343
    BCP3:F78CEB38
    BCP4: F78CE834
    OSVer:5_1_2600
    SP:3_0
    Product: 256_1

    Error code 2

    BCCODE: 10000050
    BCP!: FFFBFFF8
    BCP2: 00000000
    BCP3: 80551211
    BCP4: 00000000
    OSVer: 5_1_2600

    Learn how to attach any minidumps you find. You may have to zip them to attach them properly. Also, make sure that the insides are clean and that all fans are free from dust and spinning normally
