XP Restarts on its own

Windows XP Pro (all latest updates)
Celeron D 2.4GHz
Intel LGA775 Motherboard

My Windows XP Pro system restarts on its on. I turned off auto-reboot as mentioned in a previous thread, and this is the error number I get.

*** Stop: 0x0000008E ( 0x80000004, 0x80540B8C, 0xF7A7FC30, 0x00000000 )

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete
Contact sys or tech admin, yadda yadda yadda

I checked the knowledge base article on 0x0000008E and all it said was to upgrade to SP1. I am running all of the latest updates though.


The last restart/crash I had was while using FireFox.

First off, welcome to PC-Mech JordanHighway!!!

What exactly will you be working on when these restarts happen or errors happen? Other than Firefox, or is it only while using Firefox?

Is this a new/fresh build?

This past time my mother was having me access Nutrisystem.com via FireFox. Othertimes it would restart while in idle, and once or twice it restarted while I was playing World of Warcraft.

The restarts happen once every 1-5 days. Really really varies.

Defective memory. See here. Suggest you download and run from a boot floppy Memtest86+ to verify.
