stop 03b
About this tag
The stop 03b error, also known as bug check 0x3B, is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) that typically involves the win32k.sys system file. On WindowsForum.com, users have reported this crash occurring on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 systems, often after Windows updates or system reboots. The error can be accompanied by parameters such as 0xC0000005, indicating an access violation. In some cases, security software like WinMagic SecureDoc may prevent booting, complicating troubleshooting. Discussions focus on diagnosing the cause, including driver conflicts, corrupted system files, or update-related issues, and finding recovery steps when normal boot is not possible.

One of the two was always left running, but for some unknown reason it had rebooted...
