Recently, when I reboot, I am greeted by the XP blue screen of death.
Error message resembles
'A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage.."
I am told to check available disk space (using ~30%), drivers, and
BIOS (haven't checked BIOS yet).
For drivers I am told the check the 'Stop' line which begins
0X0000008E.

I can get the PC back up by seelcting the most recent good
configuration.

How do I find what is causing this error? 


Research your Stop Error here:

OK, one file listed is wuauclt.exe - Windows update. Is it safe to rename this file so it won't load on startup? Want to see if this is the culprit.
