I've been watching this forum and it's helped but still not resolved. I often get the following error and my PC is locked up ....

BCCode 1000008e BCP1:C0000005 BCP2:806E694F BCP3:A9B9EB8
BCP4:00000000 OSver:5_1_2600 SP3_0 Product:256_1

I have dump files but don't understand what their telling me. I've run memtest OK and have windbg.

Any help appreciated.

Re: BSOD 8e error

PC specs.....
MB ASUS P5N32-SLI
CPU Q6700
MEM 4-OCZ 1mb Vista upgrade (2 matched sets)\
P/S Antec 550watt
Vid 2 8600GTX in SLI
Antec P180 case
Dual boot XP on 2 SATA 320 raid 0 and Vista Ultimate 64 on 2 SATA 500 raid 0

I ran memtest on each pair, not each stick and I ran it in both slot pairs.

I did set to stop on BSOD but the only unique information on it is the error codes posted. There is no other information about the error (strange?)

windbg talks about date stamp on filtmgr.sys. It's different than other XP systems but I understand it can be depending on drivers and the like.

you look to be well underpowered
sometimes 8e is video drivers while your waiting for the error to come up reinstall them
in the device manager uninstall the card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

Re: BSOD 8e error

That certainly seems obvious enough to miss. I will strip it down to essentials and see if the problem persists. Excellent suggestion but I question why when I boot to Vista I have no problem.

I've also been suspecious of drivers and reinstalled different versions of nforce and video drivers. One interesting note.... I can boot the PC on XP and selected shut down before logging in and still get the BSOD.

I'll repost after trying your suggestions.

Re: BSOD 8e error

Interesting with dual boot Vista controls boot and I'm only able to go into safe mode with Vista, not XP where the BSOD is. Can you provide a source that is skilled at reading dump files?
