Re: i need help w/ a 0x0000008E error
The Blus screen (of death, or BSOD) happends whenever any program illegaly tries to write to the protected (physical) memory where the kernel OS resides. This is done because any changes to the OS Kernel can cause physical harm the computer (especially data media like Hard drives).
The 'Data Dump' creates an image file of your physical memory on the PC. This is done so that support can 'view' what the PC was trying to do at the instant the memory overwrite occured. This helps them contact vendors that have bugs in their drivers and helps detect malicious programs that may try and cripple the OS's security.
Both MS Knowledge database references to that error specify hotfix 322389. So this means that they know (roughly) what the problem is but haven't had enough time to determine the extent of the issue. I HIGHLY reccommend you run this hotfix (if you can get to the MS site).
Also, you might want to check any drivers you have recently updated (including any recent MS updates like the GDI+) and rollback any that may be bugged (especially look at recent video drivers, as they are notorious for causing BSoD's).
Good luch and let us know how it comes out.
