Each time I try to access a video while on-line my computer locks and I get the screen error:

STOP: 0x0000008E (0xE0000001, 0xBA3D8925,0xAC3D7820, 0x00000000)

watchdog.sys - Address BA3D8925 base at BA3D8000, DateStamp 480254ab

I can restart the machine and it seems to run fine until I try to access a video function. I have no idea how to attack this problem and any help would be greatly appreciated!

I did some checking and saw the whocrashed suggestion. Here is that analysis:

Take a look at this thread and see if it helps with your problem. Also, the 0x0000008E BSOD is typically related to a driver and I see the following in your last crash dump, so you might want to look at updating your device drivers.

This can typically be done either through Windows Update, or the PC manufacturers' website.
