0x00000008, or Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a
call to the handler for a prior exception. Typically, the two exceptions
are handled serially. However, there are several exceptions that cannot
be handled serially, and in this situation the processor signals a
double fault. There are two common causes of a double fault:
A kernel stack overflow. This overflow occurs when a guard page is hit,
and the kernel tries to push a trap frame. Because there is no stack
left, a stack overflow results, causing the double fault. If you think
this overview has occurred, use the !thread debugger extension to
determine the stack limits, and then use the kb (Display Stack
Backtrace) debugger command with a large parameter (for example, kb 100)
to display the full stack.
A hardware problem.


0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware
failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition
that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures
are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error
referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware
failures are the most common.

For some strange reason the computer keep restarting by itself. I do
not have anything running nor was i even using it at the time. I do
not have automatic updates set to fully automatic, so it should
install updates by itself, hence restarting on its own.

I have checked event log and found the following at the time of the
restart:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was:
0x1000007f (0x00000008, 0xbab38d70, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). A dump
was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini021408-02.dmp.

not sure what it means nor do i know how to trouble shoot the
problem..

any ideas???
