stop codes

[Guest]

I am using XP Pro with a new system and whenever I try to load a program at some point, usually about half way through the loading I get a blue screen and error code 0x0000008e. Does anyone know what the code means. I have checked the device manager and there are no conflicts and all of the drivers seem to be working fine.

Hi,

The 0x8E stop error usually indicates a ram problem. It could be a failing
ram stick, or it could be a compatibility issue (either with each other or
with the motherboard). If you want to check the memory, there are free
programs here:

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.
