| it's XP, and we've had it 4 or 5 years now. this blue screen of death
has
| only been happening a week or so. my daughter got an mp3 player for
Xmas
| and it uses the computer to charge. she had to install something off a
| disk. do you think that's the problem?
|
|



Possibly, there could be a driver conflict going on somewhere... can you
uninstall the mp3 player and it's associated program's and drivers? and
then see what happens... if that solves your problem the vendor for the
mp3
player may have updated drivers available to download.

One other thing you could try is.....


Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. On the Advanced tab,
click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
Click to clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure,
and
then click OK.

The error message on the blue screen should remain on the screen so you
can
record the error information.

| Certainly looks like you have yourself a RootKit/Trojan problem....
Franz
| has hit the nail on the head with his research.....see his reply
below/above
| in here... what anti virus program are you running? and is it up to
| date?...... this has been around for a while and is becoming quite a
| problem for many users.
|
|
| It appears that the files listed below are the cause of your
problem........
| you could try and reboot into safe mode and either delete or rename
| them..... but it may also be deep seated in the registry.... and most
| likely need a program to clean it up properly.
|
|
|
| mssync20.exe, mssync20.sys
