Computer update:

I got a nice new error message today: STOP: 0X0000008E, apparently caused by win32k.sys.

Now, I'm having trouble pinning this one down, especially since it didn't come with an identifying phrase, but as near as I can tell... it blames the memory again.

Am I right?

...this would be exactly my luck, to have the mother board go out...

More or less exactly what happened to mine about two weeks ago, though I didn't actually get to read the error message because the computer had been set to reboot on critical error. Turned out to be a motherboard failure, and I'm currently in the process of speccing out a new system.

Do you still get this in Safe Mode? You might be able to work on it in that if you have anything really essential to do on your computer.
