308 | Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
By default, Windows restarts your computer as soon as the BSoD appears,
leaving almost no time to read the error message before it vanishes. To
change this, open the System page in Control Panel and click the Advanced
system settings link on the left side. In the Startup and Recovery box, click
Settings, turn off the Automatically restart option, and click OK.
Or, if Windows won??™t start, and you need to read the BSoD error message,
use the Disable automatic restart on system failure option, as described in
???What to Do When Windows Won??™t Start,??? earlier in this chapter.
Alphabetical list of BSoD errors
There are a whole bunch of possible BSoD messages; probably more than a
hundred. However, only about 20 happen frequently enough that they
might imply that an actual problem exists. More than likely, you??™ve seen at
least one of the following stop messages on your own system:
Attempted Write To Readonly Memory (stop code 0X000000BE)
A faulty driver or service is typically responsible for this error, as is outdated
firmware. If the name of a file or service is specified, try uninstalling
the software (or rolling back the driver if it??™s an upgrade).
Bad Pool Caller (stop code 0X000000C2)
Causes and remedies are similar to ???Attempted Write To Readonly
Memory.??? Additionally, this error might also be the result of a defective
hardware device.
If you encounter this message while upgrading to Windows Vista (see
Chapter 1), it may mean that one or more devices in your system are not
compatible with Vista.
