I just had one of these...the first time ever.

What is this about? It says device manager?

I wasn't doing anything. I had just downloaded my Private message box, to clean it up as I was almost to my maximum, I saved them to 2 files, and left the computer. I was still logged on here.

Bingo when I came back ...I had a blue screen... says it is a serious error? I turned off, like it directed, came back and wrote down all the codes...but dang if I know what it all means. I sent the report with my doings, and sent that off as requested.

Was this too much on the clipboard? Is that what crashed me?
I have 1 gig of RAM. Does this mean that this computer is giving up the ghost? I have a fairly new hard drive in it.

Codes are BCP1-4 with lots of numbers...

Was this a clipboard issue? Is there a way to clean it out?
My graphics program asks me to clear out the clipboard often.
But I have never seen a post or remark anywhere about that in Windows XP. That is all I can think of.

Hubby says it happens for no reason sometimes...like a Windows hiccup? Is that true? I've never had one before.

Mine has done it out of blue a few times, maybe 1 or 2 times a year - i just restart & do some general scan & clean up any oddball stuff, and all is fine .

I think sometimes things just get scrambled as your dh says and the reboot gets it back in order.


I don't even pay attention to any codes unless it becomes a frequent problem.

What is a general scan? Something other than viruses? We do 4 every weekend, and have had nothing on them since my trojan attack.

I sent it to my son, and he had a dire warning... probably an imminent failure coming! I'll have to call him for details.

no mainly just the malware / AV scan or a registry cleaner

I use Ccleaner or Glary utilities to weed out any weird stuff they are both pretty good for overall tune up/cleaning etc

We are exploring some solutions I'll let you know what
we find out...

Here is one of our helpers:

On the Gary Utilities & Ccleaner (& other Reg cleaners) , there seems to be some that use them and some say do not use them.

So just to show pros & cons..here is some info links about them -
