after a while of using my computer, this blue screen suddenly comes up. the screen says

KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR

it says if this has not happened before, simply restart the computer.

if it has happened before, check any new hardware or software recently installed. also check for updates.

Technical Information:
*** STOP: Ox00000077(OxC000000E, OxC000000E, Ox00000000, Ox08DC3000)

below, the screen reads
Dump of physical memory beginning.
Physical dump of memory complete.



The laptop is a DELL Inspiron 5100 with Windows XP Home Edition. This has happened to me about 10 times. The only way to restart the laptop is by holding down the power button.

I have run:
AdAware adware check
SpyBot spyware check
Norton Antivirus 2005 virus scan

I also have downloaded all updates possible.
I cannot recall installing any new software recently, and i have not installed any hardware.

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
