| Vxd = virtual device driver One of your programs or devices is loading a driver that is causing a conflict. When you used "selective startup" and turned everything off, you stopped the driver from being loaded. It is normally loaded from one of the files that you disabled. You can enable those files one by one until the BSOD returns to determine which file is loading the suspect driver. However, the first thing I would try would be to update all device drivers. If updating drivers doesn't fix problem, post back with the EXACT error message. May be able to track down the problem from the error message. |

| Another possible solution is one that I read in the Practical Windows mag. In the bios: disable PnP OS (set to: no). Supposedly, pnp set to yes, causes intermittent (scrabble word)shut-down problems. Its worth a try. My sys boots and shuts down fine with either the yes or no (current) setting.
