Re: Errors -- Stop Error?

I turned off the auto restart, and am so far waiting for the error to happen
again to see what results that produces. I might try replicating the issue on
purpose later.

I check the device manager, and saw no yellow ?'s [not quest givers on wow
Im afraid : (] and also ran the sigverif thing, and only 2 files came up.

nv4_disp.dll -- Folder : c:\windows\system32 File Type: Application Extension
nv4_mini.sys -- Folder: c:\windows\system32\drivers File Type System File

Both were last modified :: 7/12/2004 [which is about the time my parents and
I bought the computer lol]

I would make a point of checking Device Manager and sigverif first.

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).

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

Remove any dust bunnies from inside the computer casing using an Air
Duster and check all fans are running.

Check the hard drive for bad sectors by running chkdsk /f /r

You need to be aware that running chkdsk can take hours

Faulty RAM. You might test your RAM memory

Windows has finished checking your disk.
Please wait while your computer restarts.

So far, the problem hasnt been resolved :P Im going to do what Gerry
said, although its not a blue screen error. It just dies, and
restarts. Annoying as hell.
