Kernel crash in Windows XP

[Coolme]

I've had several OS crashes the last couple of weeks. I decided to see if the event viewer could help me find out the cause. There are several system errors which are probably related to my problems. I don't really know what to do with the logs so I thought maybe someone here knows a bit more than I do. I run Windows XP Home SP3 and the crashes usually occur while I'm browsing the net while listening to music. Here is the report:

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 1003
Source: System Error
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: ER_KRNLCRASH_LOG
Message: Error code %1, parameter1 %2, parameter2 %3, parameter3 %4, parameter4 %5.

Explanation
A blue screen (Stop error) was reported. The message contains details about the error. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. This matching event displays information about the specific error that occurred.

With the details here:

So what should I do?

[Coolme]

Nevermind, found something old, hotfix for sp2 but did not work.

How do you search for something like that?

[morphid]

After searching for that stop code the most relevant info I could find points toward it being a faulty driver. It could be any driver, but I would start by updating your sound driver as you said it happens when you listen to music. If that fails, try updating chipset drivers, video drivers, network etc..

[Coolme]

All right, sounds like a good way to start. I'll post back when I know more. Thanks.

I reinstalled numerous drivers and I think I finally got it. It seems it was the mobo chipset drivers that were the cause of failures. Reinstalled the old ones and everything works now.
