Error message: Stop 0x000000ea thread_stuck_in_device_driver

[MobilePhoneGuru]

Hi,

I have a windows xp pc and this is my problem: I have an Windows Blue Screen Of Death with Error message: Stop 0x000000ea thread_stuck_in_device_driver (Q293078) How this problem could have happened? Is this normal because my computer has less than 2 years? Is this due to installing a game (CSI)? From what I read, I must deliver to day (via downloading updates) my video card but are we sure that this is it? Should we replace the video card? Thank you for your help

You must have a nvidia graphics card or a game too resource-intensive video.

I have 2 solutions for you :
1-updates the driver if it is a nvidia card at this address:
http://www.nvidia.com

2-card exchange for a more powerful
or uninstall the game

This problem occurs if the card is caught in an infinite loop waiting for the transition to the inactive (standby) of your video hardware. This is usually the sign of a problem with the video material or indicates that the adapter is unable to program the hardware correctly.
