I get the blue screen and the following Tech info:

Stop: 0x0000008E (CxC0000005, 0xBF803B6,0xF85A67c4,0x00000000)

Win32ksys-address BF803EB6 BASE at BF800000, DATASTAMP 47e0e106

I tried to start in safe mode and got the same results and I'm ready for some advice. Thanks !
 
Hello...
What are you doing when the problem happens?
Is it the same thing everytime, consistently?

What version of Windows are you using and what have you installed/changed/removed (hardware OR software) since the problem started happening?
 
The PC rebooted itself and I have tried safe mode and everything that I know (which is not much). It always comes back to same screen. I'm running Windows XP and I'm not sure what ser/pack or version I was running. I can't get to point where I can troubleshoot . Thanks !
 
If AbsoluteKevster's suggestion fails, I would highly suggest a tutorial such as the ones I listed below for you. You can also find similar threads to easily troubleshoot this by using the Search Feature. Use Keywords, computer keeps rebooting or similar. You might not have any luck searching for the exact error code or memory dupes that Windows is showing you. What you can do is look how other people resolved the issue with similar symptoms such as I did. I was able to find out a 4-5 year old wireless card driver finally jacked everything up. I removed the card after I cleaned out my entire computer twice, and formatted twice. I wish I had done my home work before acting like a spazz. Good luck, you may need it :)

Don't forget to use the search feature in these forums as well.
