The problem maybe related to faulty ram and it is worthwhile to run the memtest to stress test the ram.

The system event log and the minidump has the most useful diagnostic information. When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 or 1003 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump.
Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001/1003. Copy the content and paste it back here and I want at least 4 to 5 system event records. It is definitely useful to analysis the problem.
Zip 5 to 6 minidumps to a zip file and attach it at any webspace. I will study the dump and find out the culprit.
per your request - here are the event viewer logs
I will make a second entry with the path of the file
thanks

All of your minidumps are crashed with same symptom. I believe that Norton AV is the culprit.m Upgrade and de-install Norton AV may resolve the problem.

Refer to this case. Re-install Norton AV resolve the blue screen problem

OK - I've uninstalled/reinstalled NAV and so far I've booted up 3 times with no error....My suspicion now is that it has something to do with NAV LiveUpdate...which runs at boot up when the virus defs are x days old......that would explain why the halt wasn't happenning every day...yesterday I got the popup dialog to update the virus defs.......
this is my first time here....so do I "accept" the answer to award the points to cpc2004?...In any event, I'm going to wait several days before awarding the points to confirm this WAS the fix
also, can I ask as many questions as required, or am I limited to so many a month?.
thanks for your quick, professional help
barry
I believe that Norton AV has conflict with some of your software driver. I can't determine which device driver has conflict with Norton AV. Report the problem to Symantec. Maybe the software vendor can identify the culprit. A lot of users actiivate the live update. Live update crashes windows only if it has conflict with your device driver. If Norton AV live update has known problem, search google can find the hit.
About closing this question..
if this solves your dilemma, then certainly award the max points to cpc... he deserves it!
since this is your first time, refer to this for instructions on how to close:

These error codes are pretty generic, but I have seen this specific event with bad video cards... If you have a spare, that would be one way to ck it...
