My Windows XP Professional system has recently developed a problem. When I
start up the computer for the first time in the morning, it never boots
first time, usually second or third. Just as the logon screen is about to
appear, a blue screen of death appears, with an error. I can see the error
is to do with tcpip.sys. How can I get a copy of the error to show you guys?
The computer restarts a few seconds after the blue screen appears, so I
don't really get a chance to write it down. Once the computer has been
running for a while, I can restart it as many times as I wish, and it starts
first time without the BSOD.

I thought the problem may be RAM related, but I downloaded the Microsoft
Windows Memory Diagnostic, which didn't find any errors.

Incidentally, I built this computer myself almost 3 years back, and this
problem is only recent. It is an AMD Athlon XP 1900+ with 512MB Crucial DDR
RAM if that's of any use.

Many thanks in advance.
