How long has this been going on? Just before it started, did you make any
changes to the system hardware or software?

The stop code of 0x000000&E is not in Microsoft's list of known stop codes, so
you can't rely on them for help. So what else is new? Even when Microsoft
explains a stop code, the help they provide is well nigh useless. BSODs with
stop codes, by and large, are Microsoft's way of saying "We really do not know
what the hell is going on," once again a sign of not very robust operating
system software design and a lack of comprehensive management of system hardware
by Windows.

Here are a few possibilities:

1. Very often, a stop code is the sign of failing hardware. Determine the
manufacturer and model of hard drive, the most likely culprit. Either download
the drive manufacturer's diagnostics or download the very nice and free HDA2.
With HDA2, you can examine the SMART statistics, which include reallocated disk
sectors and other indicators of a failing drive. The mfr's diagnostics can do a
full surface scan, and also replace any bad sectors with spares. If there is
even one bad sector, consider replacing the drive, 'cause it will only get
worse.

2. Well, maybe Windows is just plain screwed up. This is not unusual. A good
system cleanup including the registry may well get Windows straight again, just
like a good laxative. CCleaner is a very reliable and very free registry and
system maintenance tool.

3. Something is not right with the CD/DVD burning software you use? Try
IMGBURN or CDBurnerXP, both free and very good... Ben Myers

From personal experience, even a stop code that Microsoft are familiar
with won't result in any help from them.

They're hardly likely to admit to the world "hey, that old chestnut,
yep, we know that error is a result of our sloppy coding but we can't
be arsed to fix it"........are they?

2/10 for you sir.........must try harder.

Reading between the lines of the usual Microsoft web page drivel about stop
codes, one concludes that the documentation for ALL stop codes should say:

Microsoft has no clue what happened, and does not care, anyway... Ben Myers

Besides, you're running an OEM copy of Windows, so support is provided
by your vendor, not Microsoft.
