I have my dad's old dell inspiron 6000. This morning, it shut off and gave me this blue screen:

Then when I turned it back on after I got back home, i opened the error report and checked what it contains:
40336070.png

What does this mean? Is my hdd failing? Virus? What is it?

Thanks,

Edit: I just updated some drivers, hoping that will stop it. But now, when I turn on my computer, it doesn't automatically log me on to my account. How can I make it log me in automatically on startup? -Never mind. Edited Registry-

mostly RAM and Head Disk problem.you check it
 
Agree. 0x8E errors are almost always caused by hardware though sometimes they can be caused by drivers. This error code is also a strong indicator of corrupted memory.

How do I check the memory? A mem test or something like that? How do I do that?

And how could I find out if a piece of hardware is causing this? Device Manager?

1. Go to www.memtest.org and download the latest ISO version. It is free and perfectly safe.

2. Burn ISO to a CD.

3. Place CD in your drive and reboot with CD in drive. (Place your drive as first bootable in your BIOS) The test will take over almost immediately after you boot-up.


Let it run for a LONG time. The rule is a minimum of 7 Passes; the more Passes after 7 so much the better. There are 8 individual tests per Pass.

8 Individual Tests = One Pass; you need a minimum of 7 Passes.

Many people will start this test before going to bed and check it the next day.

If you have errors you have corrupted memory and it needs to be replaced.

Also, with errors you need to run this test per stick of RAM. Take out one and run the test. Then take that one out and put the other in and run the test. If you start getting errors before 7 Passes you know that stick is corrupted and you don’t need to run the test any further on that stick.

Just as a quick update for anyone who sees this in the future, I never ran the memory check, as I haven't had the error again. If I get the blue screen I will. But I now have the .iso ready for use.
