If I were you I would be more concerned about a failing hard drive than
anything else.
If that is the case, while you still can, backup all your important
documents, images, etc.
Hard drive manufacturers have software on their websites to test the hard
drive.
A failing power supply can cause this although often you see the problem at
boot up.
The Microsoft memory diagnostic is very good for evaluating RAM.

Yes, back up HD.

Then look at drivers.
I had the exact same problem and it turned out to be a driver.
MS did not have an update so I went to the manufacturer's website and found
their latest and downloaded and installed.
Problem went away.

Difficulty is determining what went wrong.
But look in the event log immediately after the bluescreen reboot to look
for critical errors.
I will probably show up there.

Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer / Critical or Error
under +Critical or +Error Double-Click on an entry under this to see what is
was.
then double click on the critical or error line to get more details.

You will be amazed at all the problems going on behind the scenes.

Hi,

0xD1 errors are driver errors caused by an attempt to access pageable memory
that is out of range. In this case, it's trying to access an invalid address
(parameter 1) for read operation. In order to resolve this, you need to know
what file was loaded at the time of the stop error, and this is usually
contained in the dump file that is created. Go to the Event Viewer and see
if you can locate the stop error in the system events and see what module
was loaded at the time. Then use your preferred search engine to get some
information about where it comes from and what it does, this should point
you in the right direction.

If you are unable to locate the event or nothing is named, go to the control
panel/system/advanced and under the startup and recovery settings, set the
system for a small memory dump. Next time it happens, a minidump file will
be created and stored under C:\Windows\minidump. Send this file to me at
rick_at_mvps_dot_org using a subject line of 'per req' and I'll see if I can
locate the offending file.

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was
too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper
addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a
damaged pagefile.
Also when it happens next time take a note of the mini dump and maybe then we can
find a fix or suggestion for a fix. As it is reight now it could be anything

Thanks for your replie

pupick / Lorin, I've been caught by hd failure in the past, I keep
recent ghost image of the OS drive now . All of the data etc i
mirrored for safety. There are no read errors in the event viewer, an
no strange clicking sounds, but I will run a drive test anyway just t
be on the safe side.

The power supply was replaced 2 months ago, as the previous one was to
loud, but I had this problem with the old one too (yes, it has bee
happening for that long)

Rick Rogers, there is no stop message, just the usual ‘previou
system shutdown was unexpected’. Thanks for the offer, and a cop
of the minidump file has been sent to you

Peter Foldes, thanks for the advice, I will try a RAM test

There is a Stop (d1) message. You posted it in your post Bccode D1. And I posted the
problem associated with it
