• Save it to your Desktop as fixlist.txt
• Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
  
  • Press the Fix button once and wait.
  • FRST will process fixlist.txt
  • When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt on your Desktop.
• Post me the log please.

KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR (77)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Caused by
bad block in paging file or disk controller error.
In the case when the first arguments is 0 or 1, the stack signature
in the kernel stack was not found. Again, bad hardware.
An I/O status of c000009c (STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR) or
C000016AL (STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED) normally indicates
the data could not be read from the disk due to a bad
block. Upon reboot autocheck will run and attempt to map out the bad
sector. If the status is C0000185 (STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR) and the paging
file is on a SCSI disk device, then the cabling and termination should be
checked. See the knowledge base article on SCSI termination.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000001, (page was retrieved from disk)
Arg2: 00000000, value found in stack where signature should be
Arg3: 00000000, 0
Arg4: 9cdd4ca0, address of signature on kernel stack

Which suggests that your Blue Screen was caused by corrupted data on your Hard Drive due to a faulty sector. Chkdsk should have put that right when you ran it, so hopefully you won't suffer the problem again. If you do, it may be an early sign that your drive is on its way out. As you're using XP, I can only presume that your computer is getting a little long in the tooth now.

here is the fix

Fix result of Farbar Recovery Tool (FRST written by Farbar) (x86) Version: 10-06-2013 03

MpKsl68d72050 => Service deleted successfully.


The system needs a manual reboot.

==== End of Fixlog ====

If you haven't already done so, please reboot your computer, then let me know how it's behaving now please.

rebooted
wife says computer running fine

In that case, I think we've finished, we just need to remove the programs we've been using on your machine.

please delete the following ...

FSS.exe
FSS.txt
MiniToolBox.exe
Result.txt
FRST.exe
FRST.txt
Addition.txt

From what I've seen, there's no reason to believe that your problem was anything other than a corrupted data sector on your hard drive, and hopefully chkdsk has now repaired it.

If you have no further issues, I think we can close this topic.

Keep safe,

Gary

Thank you. I appreciate all of your help.
