Background information on Stop Error message 0x8E
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms794023.aspx
0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler
didn't catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues
(which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).
Source: http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm
Disconnect all hardware peripherals except keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Is the computer a laptop or desktop? Google produced confusing results.
Are you able to swap in a different monitor? Swapping in another supply might be another test but most users do not have a spare lying around.
Award BIOS Beep Codes
Beep - Currently the only beep code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. Any other beeps are probably a RAM problem.
You might try checking the Boot progress against the information in these links to see if you can identify how far it gets

Thanks for the reply.. the full stop error is
*** Stop: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x8052E797, 0xF7A7C5C4, 0X00000000)
there are no files referenced
As I cannot get any further into the boot, I cannot disable the
autorestart, or do anything else.
F8 allows only the choice of Safe Mode, Safe mode with Networking,
command line or Last Known Good Config - none of which change the
bsod occurring.
I have nothing plugged in, and even removed the AGP graphics cards
and used the onboard vga.
Memtest passed 100%, and a thorough disk scan using latest Seagate
tool passed as well!
Acer has suggested that I try with a different hard drive.. doh, of
course that is going to isolate the hdd as the cause of the problem.
Seagate won't want to know me if out of warranty ,and MS will charge
me to tell me to refomat and reinstall :\
I reckon an IDE boot hdd will be the answer. But still irritating
that I cannot fix the bsod.
Just an aside; the link notifying me of updates to the page - fails
to load in Firefox or IE... Anyone else have this problem?
I will try to paste it here - but it my become obfuscated

Nice n short and pithy as you can see ;}
AH - when I tried it again just now it loads fine ;; wtf

Can you please post a complete copy of the Stop Error report?
Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing
the F8 key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic
restart on system failure. Do not re-enable automatic restart on
system failure.
Under the Bug Code + parameters is often reference to a file. Make
sure you include this in your reply.
Have you run a drive test utility available on the Seagate web site?

Have you tried booting with only keyboard, mouse and monitor
connected?
