Hi, I know lots of people have had this problem, but I need help --- it seems like since everyone has had this problem since 2009, there should be an easier way to fix it than all the complicated answers I have read so far. I have a Toshiba Satellite A305; T8100 @ 2.10GHz; 64 bit. My computer will have an unexpected shut down whenever it is left alone for too long (goes to sleep). I've tried installing the latest drivers.... maybe I am missing something? Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 100000ea BCP1: FFFFFA8005D77060 BCP2: 0000000000000000 BCP3: 0000000000000000 BCP4: 0000000000000000 OS Version: 6_1_7600 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 256_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\030711-55239-01.dmp C:\Users\Tina\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-141149-0.sysdata.xml

Oh yeah and it has happened ever since I installed Windows 7.

A bugcheck (BSOD) is a mechanism to protect your PC from damage. Bug Check 0x100000EA: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M This indicates that a thread in a device driver is endlessly spinning. To see the causing driver I have to take a look at the dumps with the Debugging Tools for Windows. Please start the Windows Explorer and go to the folder C:\Windows\Minidump. Next, copy the dmp files to your desktop, zip all dmp into 1 zip file and upload the zip file to your public Skydrive [1] folder and post a link here.

THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M (100000ea) The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Arguments: Arg1: fffffa8005d77060, Pointer to a stuck thread object. Do .thread then kb on it to find the hung location.

Okay, I think I installed the right thing. Thanks for the help and for adding the "extremely" adjective to make me laugh.
