Blue Screen 0x000000B8

[jmv]

Hi,

I keep getting the follwing Blue Screen dump. This is an intermittent
problem. It may happen after a few hous of use or after several days.
Each time I am doing something different.

Running XP Sp3 on MacBook Pro 17 using BoorCamp.
Used to crash also on Sp2.

Can anyone provide advice?

You must update the Apple Boot Camp software to Boot Camp 2.1 before
installing XP SP3

Re: Blue Screen 0x000000B8

Thanks for the input.
I had forgotten to mention that I had this same problem under SP2.
I also has an Apple shop run all their hardware tests including memory tests
and they found nothing.

So I thought I would be luckier with SP3 and I did upgrade my BootCamp
according to the instruction prior to installing SP3.

I will try out the memory tester that Andrew suggests.

If you have any other idea I wouldappreciate that vey much.

Regards,
JM

RE: Blue Screen 0x000000B8

Hi Andrew,

I downloaded the memtest I let it run for almost 14hrs with advanced testing
.. Not one single error was found.

Also, I had an apple shop run the tests and no errors were detected.

Now I don't know what to check for anymore.

Any ideas?

JM
