I did some quick research and couldn't find anything on www.microsoft.com about this stop error. Your sir, have had the Blue Screen of Death. Most likely its a hardware issue. Try reinstalling or updating your drivers for your video card, sound card (if any), or anything else you haven't updated in awhile.

Maybe one of your LAN buddies was infected with a virus and shared

if you have a digi cam, please take a picture of your next BSOD and show it to us maybe this helps us to understand it a bit better.

Is that possible through a LAN?

What did you recently install? The prevalent mention of a driver in the error info is suspicious!

Hmm, I was surfing around about this error and quite a few webpages say it could be spyware/malware or even a virus and to run any virus scans you can if you can boot into safe mode. I'm trying to find a page to link, one that goes into greater detail then just people saying it's a virus. Found 1 page that says it could be hardware and to update all your drivers, if that doesn't work, re-install your OS.

''a driver has over run a stack-based buffer. this is a overrun could potentially allow a malicious
user to gain control of this machine. ''

I was a little suspicious of this error, so I ran with this one and googled it.

Found this, not sure it's much help, I'm still looking..

yup

This sounds very much like someone at you lan party gave you a virus of some sort. Yes, it can happen at lan parties, anytime you connect 2 computers infections can happen. If you can boot into safe mode and run a virus/malware scan you might be able to identify the culprit.

[Tickles]

Ew, well best of luck solving it, I'm heading out to go fishin'! I'm glad I don't LAN.

I did a bit of hunting, and found a long thread about it at Techguy where the final conclusion was that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.09 was the only program currently dealing with this error. I didn't read every last bit of the thread which may have included additional steps, but here's the link:

[!B a T m A n!]

ok well nvm it juts happened again :'(

and how do you go into safe mode i press F8 the entire time while it was startiing up and it didnt do anything

[So Uncivilized]

Yeah, you gotta be careful with this stuff.

Your computer could be hosting some kind of DoS attacks..
Or emailing threats to the White House..

Or launching nuclear attacks...

The last thing you need is to be a zombie or to give out your personal information; someone might jack your steam account and then what???

[!B a T m A n!]

but what should i do?
