    0x00000008e (0xc0000005, 0xf73e82dd, 0xf7c69a5c, 0x00000000)

    whenever i try to shutdown my laptop it blue screens and the above is the error i get .ive looked up the error code in the ms site but cant find anything about it only ones simular .

    it only started recently so i thought it must be a program or a process so i cancled the ones im not using but it still happens i cant think of anything it could be . ive already switched the ram. but im not sure what else to try ( afaik all drivers are up to date )


    //edit
    just saw that if i press the power button instead of going start shutdown it dose not blue screen

    and the same if i use teh task manager to shutdown

    As far as I know, there are some patches (maybe part of windows update) for various shutdown errors from the MS site.
