Hi,
I've been trying to diagnose a serious and frustrating problem all
weekend.
My Dell Inspiron 9400 Windows XP SP2 crashes out to a BSOD with a stop
error code of 0x0000008E everytime I try to install updates using
Windows Update.
I've had to disable automatic updates to stop it from happening
everytime I boot up.
I tried System restore, Dell diagnostics scans on the hardware,
reducing hardware acceleration, virus scans + more..
It even happens in safe mode if I try to install updates manually
downloaded from the Windows Update site.
I really want to try to repair the OS but Dell don't supply the OS CD
with their machines anymore.
I can't find a single relavent article in the Windows KB for the
particular stop error code caused my Windows Update.
What is going on?!
Please help..
Thanks,
sanc
