Many people do, (I always do), and there's no easy solution to
it. It can be software, or it can be hardware causing it. The
only thing I can suggest is to install that Debugger from M$
and see what it says.
Go to the area like you're going to the Device Manager, but
instead click the "Advanced" tab, then under "Startup and
Recovery" click "Advanced Settings". Then under "System
Failure" check the first box, then in the drop-down I'd suggest
trying the Kernel dump first. If that takes too long or locks
up the PC, then select the "Small memory dump". This will
write the info into a file in that Minidump folder, hopefully.
Then you can open that Debugger and load the .dmp file and see
if it will tell you anything. Usually you can just drag the
dmp file to the program after you open it.

The dmp files are not always created on BSOD's while starting
or shutting down, so it may or may not create one.
In my case, I'm pretty sure my BSOD's are caused by a bad
motherboard.

I get the blue screen on shut down with the following info.
IRQL_not_less_or_equal.
0x0000000A
(0x000000B0,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x804EA44F)
I have visited M$ and didn't learn much that was useful to me.
I have installed a Kodak printer but removing it does not solve
the
problem. It is a all in one type printer.
This is my home computer using XP Home and it is a Dell laptop.
When this happens I have to hit the power button and hold it to
turn it
off. I can then turn it back on with no problem and nothing
seems to be
wrong otherwise. I have checked for malware with spybot, AVG,
and
Spysweeper. Nothing unusual.
M$ says it could be a driver! Good how do you find the one that
is the
culprit?
