Hi all,

I have a problem with my PC - it keeps crashing at random points
(sometimes a few minutes after startup, and sometimes not for hours)
and restarting itself. It always brings up a message when my computer
restarts saying that Windows has recovered from a serious error. The
details of the error are as follows:

BCCode: 1000008e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 805CFFC9 BCP3: F86448D8
BCP4: 00000000 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 768_1


Error Report Contents: C:\DOCUME~1\User1\LOCALS~1\Temp
\WERb012.dir00\Mini041107-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\User1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERb012.dir00\sysd ata.xml

Does anybody have any idea what this would point to? I have no
technical knowledge of any great depth so it means nothing to me. I
would appreciate any help with this. I am running Windows XP with a
Pentium 4 3.4Ghz processor and 512mb RAM.

Thanks in advance,

Geordie

Download and run a memory testing utility and see if you've got some bad
RAM.

That error is listed in the MS knowledge base, it is a common backdoor
infection, so assumed you do not have uptodate anti-virus/firewall?
It will involve editing your Registry:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903251/en-us

You could try a free full online anti-virus scan first:
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus

It is, or is a variant of the HaxDoor virus, this being a backdoor
that allows any remote scans access. All uptodate anti-virus
will have definitions and would have caught it.
Once (and if) your PC is cleaned up, install a proper AV/firewall.

Like Meatplow said, it's probably bad RAM.Grogan's suggestion of Ubuntu
wouldn't help because the OS WOULD STILL **** UP WITH BAD RAM. You might
want to also get a copy of the ultimate boot cd. You can find it at
www.majorgeek.com

Well he could download the ubuntu cd and use it to boot then use the
memory testor included

I use Kubuntu and had a problem with one of my laptops doing some weird
****. The bundled memtest utility on the Kubuntu cd tracked it down quick.
Maybe that's what grogan was eluding to LOL

I don't know what the error message is referring to but one source of
crashes on XP would be incompatible drivers for hardware such as a video
card and another might be bad or incompatible RAM.

Thanks to everyone for all your responses. I have checked my RAM and
it appears to be working fine with MemTest - and I have up to date
Antivirus with AVG and firewall with ZoneAlarm monitoring my system. I
have done a full scan and this has unearthed no viruses, nor did F-
Secure Blacklight Protection.

Having eliminated the possibility of faulty RAM and / or a Virus does
anyone have any other ideas? Thanks again, I really appreciate your
help.

As ProfGene stated, you should probably update your graphics card
drivers.

Doesn't mean a lot comapred to what the event log might say.

That's just the MS memory dump and report output.
