Take a look here - WINDOWS XP SHUTDOWN & RESTART TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi,
Thanks for the link.
I have looked through the information contained in the link, however I need some help understanding the probelms identified.
Whilst reading the link above, my pc gave a blue screen error. The error reported is as follows:
STOP:0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xEC5DB2C0, 0xF7A8F75C, 0xF7A8F458)
I have found out that:
0x0000007E = Bug Check 0x7E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
0xC0000005 = STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
0xEC5DB2C0 = Bug Check 0xEC: SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT
0xF7A8F75C = Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER
0xF7A8F458 = Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER
The last 2 (0xF7) show the cause could be:
A driver overran a stack-based buffer (or local variable) in a way that would have overwritten the function's return address and jumped back to an arbitrary address when the function returned.
This is the classic "buffer overrun"
hacking attack. The system has been brought down to prevent a malicious user from gaining complete control of it.
How do I take the above information and correct the issue. I do not know how to debug.... which is something a few of the issue's mentioned doing to resolve.
Any further help is appreciated.
Thanks,
