I run XP Home SP3 and IE7. I was just exiting Hotmail when my pc started to reboot - no message on screen. I found this in the log: Event Type: Information Event Source: Save Dump Event Category: None Event ID: 1001 Date: 03/10/2008 Time: 11:57:35 User: N/A Computer: Description: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000000a (0x0000001c, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8053c56d). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini100308-01.dmp. Unfortunately the dump seems to have been erased by Ccleaner. Can anyone interpret the bugcheck references please.

I assume the error is due to the folder having password protection that my XP cannot access due …
