when suddenly it goes to blue screen. This is the result

bunch of numbers and letters in brackets). It may also say on that Blue
screen the name of the file or driver that caused the problem. In any
case the stop error messages will let us look up the cause

I don't have much time to write it down because it automatically restarts
when it finishes dumping and the dump only takes maybe 10 seconds. Its only
happened twice so far.

OK, open CONTROL PANEL, click ADVANCED SETTINGS to the left (say OK at UAC)

You should be in the ADVANCED Tab on the new Systems Properties screen.
Under STARTUP & RECOVERY at the bottom, click SETTINGS. Take the tick
OUT of AUTOMATIC RESTART

OK your way out of it. Now it will halt at the BSOD and you can take a
week to write the stuff down and report here <grin>

Hit the computer button to reboot to get out of BSOD.

Well, its now happened again. Twice in the same day (3 times overall)
The difference though was that I was playing Team Fortress 2, so I'm
guessing it has to do with the source engine.
I didn't check the "automatic restart" thing yet since I hadnt recently
viewed this page.

I also though that these codes were the codes in the stop message:
BCCode: 1e
BCP1: FFFFFFFFC0000005
BCP2: FFFFF800026802DD
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: 00000000000000D0

No drivers were listed though, but it has only happened when using the
source engine. It may also root form a recent steam update (July 16) or could
it stem from fragmented disk space?

(Steam update:

showing a STOP message of what went wrong and also the name of the
file/driver that caused it.

What sound driver are you using? If Realtek, they have had a bunch of
problems and are updating drivers every week or so, so make sure you
have the latest.

How does uninstalling Steam help him?

Valve games require Steam to run.


So your solution is to stop playing his games?

Not a very good solution.


Your other suggestions though so far are fine.

We really do need more complete info from the stop.

So this time a few things were different, the game was running but it was
minimized.
Nothing was listed in the STOP except for the codes, which are actually
slightly different:

NEW CODES:
BCCode: 1e
BCP1: FFFFFFFFC0000005
BCP2: FFFFF800026B82DD
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: 00000000000000D0

Previous Codes:
BCCode: 1e
BCP1: FFFFFFFFC0000005
BCP2: FFFFF800026802DD
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: 00000000000000D0

Its B8 instead of 80
I'm not sure what it means though, is there somewhere where I can figure out
what these codes indicate?
