Stop Error 0x0000008E Need Help

[Stan]

I have started getting a blue screen stop error which is
happening more frequently. The full error is:
Stop:0x0000008E
(0xc0000005,0x805ff28c,0xf430abd4,0x00000000

Could someone help me pinpoint this problem? I am
running Windows XP SP1 and keep all updates current. I
have virus scanned and maintain good security on my
system. I have 512M of RAM and an AMD XP3000 processor.
This is a new system I built about two months ago, but
the problem just began about a week ago. Any help would
be appreciated!!

Hi,

Ram may be failing. Happens sometimes with new hardware. If you want to
check the memory, there are free programs here:

Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these issues, so even if it
passes you may still want to consider swapping out sticks.
