Hello all,

Just yesterday i started up my other computer, and out came this screen which says

"We apologize for the inconvenience but windows did not start successfully..."
and then there were the "Safe mode, w/command prompt, networking, last known good configuration, start windows normally"

Thinking it was nothing, i started windows normally, and then another screen (this time blue) which displays this error:

"STOP 0x0000008e, and it had something to do with win32k.sys and BIOS
dumping physical memory etc"

I didn't manage to take down everything on the screen because it disappears in a few seconds, and then the whole process repeats over and over again when i restart the computer.

I've tried running chkdsk/r , but it didn't seem to work. Windows does not start up to the user screen, and now i'm on another pc.

Help needed! please, anyone? Thanks.

0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).

Essentially the same error as 0x8E above.

From what i've been reading it seems you may have a problem with a Nvidia Graphics chipset driver. or you may have upgraded a driver that is causing a conflict. Read up and see if any of the above helps. It also would be a good idea to look in your event viewer and see if there is any problems with any services there.

Post back any event viewer problems.
