BSOD Dump Files - Need Help Understanding
Dear Friends,
Could someone please have a look at the enclosed dump file from WinXP Pro SP2 and unravel the entries into a coherent statement. Thanks in advance for any help.

The system is a fairly recent Dell laptop which has behaved well until this.

the bsod happened because the windows process "csrss.exe" was ended. Windows cannot function without it

Code:
kd> !analyze -v

Thanks for the reply, the laptop is off-site but the user claims that it occurs when recovering from stand-by or that sometimes it doesn't recover from stand-by at all and the screen just stays blank forcing a reset....

After a bit of googling, it seems this is a known problem to M$.

You should have a look at this KB Article, and see if the possible solutions help.

I also found this page that mentions the standby problem.

Quote:
One user, who experienced this on return from Standby mode on Win XP SP2, found the cause was that Windows was installed on a slave drive
You should check that Windows is installed on the Master drive only.
