I recently installed a Windows 32-bit virtual machine on my Windows 64-bit OS
machine. I have been getting some blue screen crashes (lots of blue screen
and words that Windows has shut down to recover from a serious error) since
then and I would like to know if it is the Windows 64-bit real machine or the
Windows 32-bit virtual machine that has crashed. Since I have to physically
re-boot, I assume it is the real machine.

The technical information on the crash screen is as follows:
win32k.sys
STOP:0X00000050(0XFFFFFA802B611000,
0X0000000000000000,OXFFFFF97FFF,7F664,0X0000000000000000)
WIN32K.SYS ADDRESS FFFFF9FFF17F664 BASE FFFFF97FFF000000 Datestamp 47e0f866

Is it likely/possible that it is the virtual machine installation that is
causing the crashes?

Thanks in advance.
