--- Quote ---Now I noticed in the log that you posted that it wasnt always the atapy.sis but also a few other files with all the same error.

So a couple of questions

1. have you ran chkdsk c: /r on the system yet to check for bad sectors?

Yes


--- Quote ---2. Have you ran combofix.exe and tdsskiller.exe yet?
--- End quote ---

I just ran tdsskiller, and it did not indicate any problem. Perhaps I need to interpret something.

I did not succeed in running combofix. When it got to the scan portion, it froze the computer, including the clock, twice. I ran it in safe mode, and after 25 minutes, there were no results and no CPU activity and the computer appeared to be frozen except for the clock.

I did run GMER without finding any problem.

It has been happening occasionally for quite a while. Then I upgraded Macrium Reflect to v.6. I ran a backup successfully. I ran an incremental backup successfully, but the second incremental caused the BSOD.  It has done this every time that I have tried it. Macrium is not been able to figure out what is causing it. after I upgraded Macrium Reflect, the crashes started occurring more and more frequently.


--- Quote ---have you also made sure to get all the current updates for XP?

 Yes.

Thank you.

Shane:
File versions is always a good idea to make sure an old version didnt get put on.

it is always possible it is something in the registry as well. The problem with this kind of error is there are SO many different things that can cause it.
