Hi,Ian,
I am encountering the same problem.Typing the error into
Google gives an array of results.
I have started here,in an attempt to resolve the issue:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php
I do not believe it has anything to do with
viruses.Rather more worryingly,I think in my case it is
indicative of motherboard faliure,since this was not the
first blue screen of late.
Have you tried disabling caching in the BIOS as this blue
screen suggests?
Sorry I can't be of more help,but,as you will see from
reading the information at aumha.org,there is no simple
answer.
