Hello Steve,

Thank you for the post. Our server did have one HP
printer driver (HP LJ4050 PCL 6 - NT4.0/Win2K).

I have taken measures to remove the old driver and
replaced it with a Windows 2000 only version of the
driver. Microsoft does have a native driver for the
printer, but HP does have an updated driver.

Hopefully this is the gremlin that is causing the BSOD.

Agian, thank you.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the feedback, hope it resolves the issue

This happened to me while accessing data on a CD-ROM. I could hear the CD spin up & stop several times before this error finally occurred and a reboot was required. I would say that if that printer driver didn't fix your issue, you might want to look at and start ruling out what hardware you can to try to address your issue. I would say the majority, if not around 80-90% of BSODs are hardware-related.
