Re: Error 0X0000008e

 

Have you ran any diagnostics on the RAM ? There are a number of

free tools available. Also is your RAM a single module or a set of

two 256-Megabyte modules. If so then it may be a incompatibility

( timing ) between the two RAM modules. The other consideration

is when the issue first started to appear. If it was immediately after

a program or driver update then it's possible that is the cause of your

exception event.

Re: Error 0X0000008e

 

Many motherboard based Video chips use a portion of the System

RAM for Video purposes. That's why the RAM total is less than the

physical size.

 

Have you tried booting to Safe Mode ? Between the BIOS screen

and the Windows Flag is a period of time when pressing F8 will

display the Safe mode option menu. Press F8 about every 1/2 sec

should trigger XP to enter Safe mode.
