Successfully fixing a BSOD problem | Ed Bott’s Windows Expertise |

In this Reliability Monitor chart, the two rows to focus on are at the bottom. That string of Windows failures (and related Miscellaneous failures) indicate the appearance of the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. I’ve highlighted the last appearance, on October 14. Note that the Failure Detail section below lists the error code, 0x000000D1, and examining the blue screen itself shows that the error is triggered in (although not necessarily caused by) a Windows system file called Afd.sys, which is related to networking. As you can see from the chart, this string of errors started on October 1, and these hard crashes were occurring with alarming frequency by October 10. http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2008/10/successfully-fixing-a-bsod-problem/
