Blue Screen Memory Dump Stop:OX0000008E (8XC0000005, OX00000000, OXA6F6C728, OX00000000)

[PaceMkrRep]

Hi all,

I have a brand new system with a CORE 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz
processor on an NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI Motherboard, Dual 1024MB NVIDIA
GeForce 7950 GX2 - Quad SLI Enabled video cards, 4GB DDR2 Performance
SDRAM at 800MHz (4 x 1024MB) and RAID 0 - 300GB (2 x 150GB) Serial ATA
running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Service Pack 2. I
have the most recent BIOS and Video Card drivers. I also have the most
recent NVIDIA NForce4 SLI drivers installed which updated my RAID,
etc.

I am occationally getting a BSOD on cold boots and sometimes while
within windows I get a memory dump to a blue screen as well. The later
gave me the following physical memory dump:
Stop:OX0000008E (8XC0000005, OX00000000, OXA6F6C728, OX00000000)

I have also ran Microsoft's Bootable Memory Diagnostic on each of the
4 memory modules individually using the extended test for 2 cycles
each with no errors.

Can some gracious soul please help me find the root of this very
random blue screen issue?


Thanks!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Regards,

Steve B.

You need to take care posting error messages. Yours has errors in it!

A version of the Stop Error should still be in the System log in Event
Viewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click
on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties,
Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck
box before Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Hope this helps.
