Just recently my PC has gegan shutting down and restarting in the middle of
anything. Sometimes I can game or whatever for hours with no occurance, but
other times it will restart 3 times in 20 minutes.
The only thing I have found is that it says Computer has rebboted from a bug
check.
0x1000008e (0xc0000005)
Any Ideas?
For information about your bugcheck errors see MVP Jim Eshelman's web
page for STOP (= bugcheck) errors at
http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm and click on the "8E: Kernel
Mode Except" link in the left side column.
To stop these reboots open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click
on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section.
In the Startup and Recovery window click
on the checkbox for "automatically restart" to clear it. Click on
Apply and OK as needed to exit.
This should put an end to the reboots. However they may be replaced
by a "Blue Screen Of Death" STOP error message. If this happens then
the contents of the STOP message, including all of the parameters,
will be a direct clue to the underlying cause of your problems. Post
that information back here if you need additional advice or
assistance.
Good luck
