My HP Laptop has a blue screen?

Default Blue screen death - laptop crashes

Hello-

Hoping I can find help/answers here...

My HP Pavilion zd701us Notebook has recently started crashing. I get a Blue Screen and it reboots with the following Error Code:

BCCCode: 1000000a BCP1: 00000016 BCP2: 0000001C BCP3: 0000000

BCP4: 804E5DF1 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 768_1

I am hopeful by this and supplying some basic sys info, someone may be able to tell me if it is believed to be OS/HD failure related, or Hardware related.

On the above model HP 17" notebook I am running XP-Home Edition, Version 2002, with SP2. Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz 512 MB RAM.

Of note: I have experienced this (somewhat) before quite a while ago relating to overheating I have high degree of certainty. Once I obtained a stand to get it up of table and let it breathe, I've since had no more occurrences...till now. Still I don't believe the is at root.

I have also had a HD failure in past but it did not behave this way. Fortunately was able to clone to a new drive when it began making noises warning me it was headed for failure. I can't rule this out as cause, but I'm uncertain overall the source of the crashes being hardware or software...?

Any suggestions?

Many thanks for any feedback!

If it is brand new it could be a manufatuerer defect and I would get it checked out.

Hopefully you got a warranty!
