Editing Triple fault (section)

==Possible causes of triple faults==
Triple faults indicate a problem with the [[operating system]] [[Kernel (operating system)|kernel]] or [[device driver]]s. In modern operating systems, a triple fault is typically caused by a buffer overflow or underflow in a device driver which writes over the [[interrupt descriptor table]] (IDT). If the IDT is corrupted, when the next [[interrupt]] happens, the processor will be unable to call either the needed interrupt handler or the double fault handler because the descriptors in the IDT are corrupted.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}
