  1. Reboot into Safe Mode (press F8 at startup) and see if error occurs.
  2. Check Event Viewer (Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Event Viewer) for error entries around crash time; note source and Event ID.
  3. Run CHKDSK:
    • "Windows XP Crazy Error" (Generic Search): There are thousands of videos with this exact title. The most famous ones feature error boxes dancing to techno music.
    • "Error Santa" Videos: Look up "Windows XP Error Santa." These are the "holy grail" videos for fans of this genre. They were made using a specific software (Santa's Gift) that allowed for more complex animation than Windows Movie Maker. The boxes would often "scratch" or slide smoothly across the screen with a distinctive woosh or scratch sound.
