hi ... I have intermittantly been getting the BSoD Stop: 0x0000007E during Shutdown. The rest of the codes displayed are: (0xC0000005, 0x8062E37E, 0xB39D3BC8, 0xB39D38C4).

For the most part the PC (an HP m1160n running Win XP with SP3 installed, 2GB RAM with AMD 64 processor 3400+) seems to run OK (no Startup alerts/messages), albeit with a lot of harddisk activity more or less all the time which I think might make it run somewhat slower than it could be.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to eliminate this "problem". I am mostly concerned that this could evolve into a bigger problem if I do not fix it.

Thanks
