I did manage to talk to the guy, Wil that finally got this computer
running correctly and wanted to give you some input on it.
He had done the boot from disk thing and went thru the repair windows
function a few times to no avail. What he learned was
that when you are going thru the instal screens there is one that asked
you to hit F6 to select drivers or something like that.
Well you can also hit F5, especially with a laptop and select a power
scheme. That is what he did and then ran the repair Windows funtion
again and all worked as the BSOD was gone.
He mentioned something like power supply with HCFS and I probably have
that wrong but you guys probably know.

Well, I met my match for sure. I was unable to fix this problem so I
took it to someone that is professionally in the business. (by the way
our last communique, he has less hair.)I'll let you know when it is
fixed if ever.
I have checked many resources to no avail. Most say good luck finding
the cause.

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?
