If your error continues to be an 0x8E error, then you can read the
causes here:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/stop0x0000008e.htm

As the tech says, the most common reason is memory. I have used the MS
memory scan applet (which is free and can be downloaded from the MS
site). After about six or seven scans, you can stop it - especially if
it shows any RAM errors.

If none are shown, another thing to do would be to open the case and
re-seat the RAM modules.

THANK YOU to everyone who responded. I replaced my hard drive to correct this
problem.
