Guest Bruce. Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Just FYI. Here's one for the Google archives. XP SP3. My system is not now crashing nor BSOD but I've been getting this event recorded in the Event Log on EVERY boot. "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804ef186, 0xbacf374c, 0x00000000). A full dump was not saved." I was getting BSOD a while ago but have since fixed that. It turns out that XP will record the above event message on every boot if you still have this file: c:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP That's the file it usually writes during a BSOD, however the boot code is apparently not smart enough to know it's an old file, so it continues to log the bugcheck message in the Event Log on every boot. Assuming you're not crashing anymore, deleting the file makes the bugcheck event messages go away. Bruce.
