Kernal-Stack-Inpage-Error ???

[j4mes_bond25]

I'm using Windows XP Professional on my laptop with 1000MHz and 256MB RAM.

Only recently, I've been getting error message, which pops up AFTER the system gets frozen. This error message is in blue background starting with the top line saying "kernal-stack-inpage-error" and many things in the middle with final line reading "beginning dum of physical memory".

I then am forced to turn the laptop off & switch it back on again. This seems to be happening quite often while using it.

I think it could be the result of using more than 1 or 2 programs at a time, but I could be wrong, bearing in mind that I've always done so & nothing as such error occured up until recently.

Could anyone possibly enlighten me about the problem & cure for that ???

I've run into that problem more often with 98SE then seen in XP. Generally in 98 a reinstallation over itself was one method to see that solved fast. But with a little digging on later occasions the alternative was to perform repairs at the more basic levels like repairing boot sectors, master boot records, running the system file checker(sfc /scannow at the Run prompt), and finally a good review of the steps to follow at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315266 You may find additional articles at the MS archives.
