BSOD after new Tues Updates?

OK, I have 3 laptops. 2 Dell, 1 Sony. One is running Vista and two are
running XP SP2.

After the most recent Microsoft Updates on Tuesday they are all displaying
the Blue Screen of Death randomly. So far the Dells 1x and the Sony 2x?

Has anyone else found this? No new hardware or anything and the hardware is
different in all of them. Also, it is a different group of software running
at the time.

No problems here with the recent updates on a Dell
Inspiron notebook running Windows XP and Windows
Vista on a desktop PC. Use System Restore to return
your computer to its state just prior to the updates.
Then return to Windows Update and download each
update one at a time.

I have been a computer tech for about 20 years and still have problems trying
to decipher the BSOD. In my networks with about 600 computers I rarely get
them.

I can't seem to find the service event where it is listed. I have the "this
system shut down unexpectently" and under BugCheck ID 1001 I get

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050
(0xff55d000, 0x00000000, 0x926d82b3, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in:
C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP.

Is there any way to get more details? I would rather troubleshoot than do a
system restore.

Thanks
Lara

I've got a graphics driver restart (graphics driver crashed and
restarted/recovered instantly, but not BSOD) when the sidebar is loaded for
the first time after I installed these patches.
I have the latest Forceware 166.22

If you have an nVidea graphics card, that might be a good place to start as
there have been a lot of issues with their drivers. It wouldn't surprise me
if an update caused them to become unstable on some setups.

Something else to check would be the Reliability and Performance Monitor
under Administrative Tools in Control Panel. Click Reliability Monitor in
the left panel, this will reveal a graph as well as recent events that you
can click. Errors are denoted by red circle with a white x. When you click
one, below should reveal the failure and give a clue as to the source of the
issue.

Are you related to Jim Forbes?

No Problem here. I would concentrate on the programs running and
especially any common loaded programs shared by the units.

I haven't had any problems on any of my three machines here running XP
Home, XP Professional, and Vista Ultimate.

Since you have three different machines exhibiting the same symptoms,
look for some commonality among them--perhaps something like the same
video driver on all.

Thanks. I am aware of the nVidia issue. However, I don't have an NVidia card
in any of my machines.

Thanks for the tip on the Monitor. That is pretty neat except all it says
is...

OS stopped working??? It gave the same code as in the Event Viewer 0x00000050

No I don't know a Jim Forbes.

Cheers,
