Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have a Sony Vaio I've had for a few years and a month after warranty was up it started crashing. I haven't noticed any consistency in when- no particular programs or actions are in use everytime it crashes. Just in the span of today here are some of the error messages I've gotten on the blue screen:

STOP: 0x00000006
INVALID_PROCESS_DETACH_ATTEMPT
0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x80576A9, 0XBIE95A9C)
0x000000D1
0x00000005 (0xFF9F1330, 0x00000000, 0xBF80220F, 0x00000000)
wink32ksys - address BF8022CF base at BF80000000, Datestamp 4341dcff

As you can see there are quite a few different error messages. I've tried wiping the hard drive clean using one of the programs on ultimatebootdisk and reinstalling XP using vaio recovery pack but it still constantly crashes. I'm told these error messages and the ones I got before I reformatted indicated a hardware error and I'm hoping that there is some way I can narrow down what component is malfunctioning.
