Windows XP Stop Messages by Marc Liron – Microsoft MVP (Windows)
Stop Messages
When Windows XP detects a problem from which it cannot recover, it displays Stop messages. These are text-mode error messages that report information about the condition.
Stop messages, sometimes referred to as blue screens (BSoD), contain specific information that can help you diagnose and possibly resolve the problem detected by the Windows kernel.
This list describes these messages and helps you understand and interpret them.
This list is NOT exhaustive or meant to resolve EVERY error.”
