  Bad memory can cause just about any error, but that would not be my
first guess.  Here are the relevant parts:

  The STOP/BugCheck code, and it's four parameters.

> KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR (77)

  The kernel encountered an error trying to read a page in from a page
file on disk.

  What the four parameters mean.  Normally, one has to look up the
status codes using a tool like ERR.EXE or Google, but in this case,
the debugger provides the needed clue:

> An I/O status of c000009c (STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR)

  The disk subsystem reported a device data error (this is what the
kernel saw to cause the STOP 0x77).  This code usually means a bad
block on disk, but can also mean a faulty cable or controller.  Start
looking there.
