BSOD caused by ntkrpamp.exe

[rhe09]

I am somewhat familiar with how to deal with BSOD crash dumps, but not really versed on how to interpret. This is what I got in one of my computers, not really sure what is triggering or what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 805c314f, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: a5c90a48, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

There is one thing that I don't understand and don't like, which is at the end of the above quote. it is:

Why in the name of everything that's holy is there what seems to be Russian in the above?? is that from the computer that contains the crash file or from the computer where WinDbg was run? (different computers)

[timon]

looks like you are using vista did you recently update your service pack from 1 to 2 i think problem is there that some software or driver need to update in order to work with sp2. else see this for more help Blue Screen of Death caused by ntkrpamp.exe

Actually the computer with the problem has Win XP Pro SP 3 as operating system.

Thanks. That much I know. But anything else in that analysis gives any direction of what caused the problem? like, what do I look at to know where else to keep digging?
