I didnt configure the memory dumps for this machine. I assume a kernel dump is preferred over minidump? Either way I will check and let you know. Thanks for the reply.

Yes - I have a Dell Precision that has 4GB RAM, and which has had both Vista x86 and x64 on it and it doesn't BSOD. The issue in the KB seems to be with devices that use DMA and you have more than 4GB of RAM. That used to cause issues on XP as well (which is why I believe SP2 for XP limited the amount of RAM that could be utilised to 4GB for 32bit editions). STOP 0x00000000A is pretty common. If you want a detailed explanation of what's going on, then check out Part 1 here: http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/tags/Debugging/default.aspx Do you have minidump files handy? I'm happy to have a look if you want.
