Got bluescreen, something about win32k.sys.

Question

Geek Trainee
Just got a blue screen, something to do with win32k.sys. Couldnt see anything else, the bluescreen dissapeared too fast. What is the point of an error message that dissapears before the user can record it?

Ran a memory diagnostic test and a chkdsk, all came up with nothing.

The only thing i have is this thing in event viewer :

The previous system shutdown at 8:35:04 PM on 9/15/2007 was unexpected.

Code:

And problem reports is showing this :

Troubleshooting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If you have received this error more than once, it could indicate a serious problem with your computer. We recommend that you do the following:

Back up your files to avoid data loss in case of a complete hardware failure.
Contact the original manufacturer of your computer to determine the specific component which is failing.
Additional technical information

Although we know the problem is caused by a hardware component, the error report does not contain enough information to tell us the specific component. It is likely that the problem is being caused by one of the following computer components:

Random Access Memory (RAM)
System board
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Power supply
 
Managed to turn off the autorestart and jot down the next BSOD i got :

Stop : 0x0000008E (0XC000001D, 0X81C2E2EE. 0X9P36FBA0, 0X00000000)
 
which operating system you have got?

For Hardware, check Device Manager (RightClick MyComputer > Manage > Device Manager) and see if there is anything in yellow..
Is there any latest update drivers or software you have installed??
