My Fix for the STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005... BSOD / REBOOT

[Update: Sept 2009]
This official Icrontic guide summarizes and replaces the info in this discussion: Fix the 0x0000008E BSOD once and for all

Greetings & Salutations!

For the past two days I have worked on two machines at the shop that would just reboot on thier own, after shutting off the Automatic Restart option. That wonderful STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005... BSOD appeared on the screen.

(Both machines worked fine till the users "Opened a file they received through msn messenger"

)

Safe Mode works fine, just reboots in Normal Mode.

From safe mode cmd prompt only I scanned with F-Prot, Ad-Aware, SpyBot & HijackThis... All things cleaned up or shutoff...
(Norton was on one of the machines but it was not working and you didn't have enough time to check anything in Normal mode.)

Rebooted and within a few minutes... STOP: 0x0000008E again... rebooted in safe mode again shut everything off in MSConfig, ran Rootkit Revealer from sysinternals which found nothing... rebooted and same BSOD again...

Searched Google for 0x0000008E errors and got the standard, "Ram problem, Driver Problem, PS Weak... Tested Ram with memtest, changed the power supply and still no go...

Another site was talking about posting minidumps for them to look at, so I looked into one of the minidumps and found:

Rustock rootkit v 1.2
Z:\NewProjects\spambot\new\driver\objfre\i386\driver.pdb

A little more Google revealed that this Rootkit, once installed is undetectable by anything, quite the amazing little piece of code...

Symantec's info on the Rustock Rootkit

This was it the B version... I followed the directions on Symantec's site to remove it by booting into recovery console from an XP CD. (You cannot detect it in Safe Mode)

Once there I used "Disable pe386" to shut off the rootkit... I looked while in safe mode for this service and it WAS NOT there... Since it loads with kernel / driver data, it hides everything about itself...

Symantec's Cleanup Instructions...

Rebooted in Normal mode and no more BSOD, reinstalled NAV and started it scanning when I left the shop... I will run ADSSpy again and see if it finds the alternate data stream now...

I realize that this is not the only cause of 0x8e errors but this was my problem, and since there were two machines in the shop with the same problem, I can see more of these coming in for repair...

Hope this helps those who have just recently developed STOP: 0x0000008E errors.

Hello, I also think this was really well written, I understood it!, mostly... I recieved the same error a month or so ago and couldn't get windows running again, so here is what I did, and i need some help at this point. I have a BYO system I can go into detail if you want. It had a 120g hard drive partitioned 70/40/10, with the 10 unpartitioned(for emergencies). I just partitioned the 10g and reinstalled windows on that, mainly to be able to recover info from drive c: and d:. Now here is where I am running into trouble. Trying to recover info off of drive c: makes the system reboot. If I have the problem as stated above, how do I deal with it in this case, and what is a minidump, how do I do it and is it easy to read and understand? I am an average do-it yourselfer and have some decent system repairl knowledge but I am not a professional, nor do I have any schooling for this kinda stuff. Please I need some help!!!!!

TIA, Paul

...what is a minidump, how do I do it and is it easy to read and understand?...

It will (try to) record what was going on when your computer crashed and save it to a text file. By studying the file you'll at least get a list of likely suspects as to what caused the crash.

From Microsoft:

To configure startup and recovery options to use the small memory dump file, follow these steps.

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
4. In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (64k).

The file created should appear in the root of the drive where Windows is installed. As for being "easy to read and understand", it may be, but it might just look like gibberish unless you know what you're looking for. You can attach a copy of the dump file here and we'll have a look.

You could also try right-clicking My Computer, then go to Properties>>Advanced>>Startup and Recovery Settings, then uncheck Automatically Restart.
It will produce a BSOD with an error code. Let us know what it is and we'll try and help.

Hi troll: MANY thanks for the "pe386 fix". It brought to an end many hours of fruitless work. It fixed the box I was trying to bring back from near death after trying all the other suggestions. THANK YOU!

Your welcome Len, glad the info helped...

I spent 2 days on these boxes much to the nattering of my boss wondering who was going to pay for the time to fix them instead of a quick reload...

Other sites had mentioned that viruses / malware were going to go this way with rootkits and all... Lets hope not as I hate reloading a box when I can bring it back from the dead...

Again, glad to hear the info has helped.

hi. I bought the game ghost recon advanced warfighter yesterday..and when I tried to play it.. the game rebooted/crashed..whatever ..I checked what the bluescreen said,and this is what came up:
0x0000008e ( 0xc0000005, 0x8439a00a, 0x8d63ab4c, 0x00000000

could it be that I have this rootkit too?
I dont have any other problem at all with my computer,and I can easily play rainbow six las vegas on it without it crashing etc..
I HAVE noticed that the computer is a little bit slower then it was just some weeks earlier..but that could depend on anything..

could anyone help me,if its the same rootkit,or anything else?

Here is another fix for the Rustock.B Rootkit, if needed.

Download RustBFix from one of the following locations...

http://www.uploads.ejvindh.net/rustbfix.exe

http://uploads.ejvindh.andymanchesta.com/Rustbfix.exe

...and save it to your desktop.

Double click on rustbfix.exe to run the tool. If a Rustock.b-infection is found, you will shortly hereafter be asked to reboot the computer. The reboot will probably take quite a while, and perhaps 2 reboots will be needed. But this will happen automatically. After the reboot 2 logfiles will open (%root%\avenger.txt & %root%\rustbfix\pelog.txt).

You have to uninstall their Security Manager

Or if it wont Uninstall Properly
http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/inde...y_Manager18106

Other than that more info is needed as to when this BSoD happens, Normal Mode Only, Safe Mode, on Bootup, after a while, when a specific program launches etc...

i dont have comcast; i have cox. and its after its running for awhile i am not sure exactly as its my daughters machine. i only intsalled 2 programs recently
1) cox parental software
2) harry pottery game pack.

i dont think its the cox software as i also installed it on an identical machine for my other daughter. but i could be as it doesnt really work for media center 2002 edition.

on a side note if any one knows of good parental software (i.e. something that can limit internet time as well as what sites and can record every thing ) for relativly cheap; please let me know

Jen - His original post are the instructions you seek. Were you having trouble with them? Did they not work for you?

I removed your e-mail address. Posting it on a public forum like this will get it picked up by spammers, and we don't send e-mails - we answer questions on the forum.

Hello everyone. sorry to bother you with this problem but I don't know how to deal with this and I only know enough about computers to just make it by. every since a few weeks ago or more I have been coming across a problem that I assume was caused when I was very upset and used physical violence to teach my computer a lesson

(Sorry to all of you who disapprove of such things

)

right now at the moment I have put a new hard-drive into the computer from the store and installed Windows XP Pro on it but I am still getting this erroe message

Stop: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X805847DF, 0XF090FB00, 0X00000000)

I also had Dumper 0 -k showing up in MSconfig but I was able to fix that problem... I think... I right clicked My Computer went to Advanced, Startup and Recovery Settings. Under System Failure I unchecked Automatically Restart and under Write debugging information I changed it to (None)
so this doesn't seem to pop-up anymore but it might help you... no idea

seeing as how this problem started after I had hit the side of my tower I have doubts that it is that virus thing but I also tried swapping my RAM in and out to see if that was the problem but nothing.

any ideas?

I have tried rebooting into Safe mode to run Memtest, and to try and look at the mini Dump, but Anytime I try and access My Computer, it Crashes again...
I can't seem to get it to run ANYTHING to try and analyze the problem...
Any Ideas on what I can do here?
Thanks in advance!

OKay.. Ran Event Viewer, but can't really see anything...

It says The Computer has rebooted from a bugcheck' the Bugcheck was:

0x000008e (0xc0000005, .... ....) It says a dump was saved in c:\windows\minidump\mini031607-12.dmp

However I can't navigate anywhere to see it.. as soon as I open up My Computer, it crashes.

Is there anything Specific I should be looking for in the event log?

It has 4 Service Control Manager Errors and 5 DCOM Errors... But all the DCOMS are "This service cannot be started in safe mode"

Of the SCM Errors they are:

The DHCP Client Service Depends on the NetBIOS over Tcpipservice which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not funcitoning.

the DNS Client Service depends on the TCP/IP Protocol Driveer Service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not funtioning.

The IPSEC Services Service depends on the IPSEC Driver Service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

and

The Following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
Fips
IPSec
MRxSmb
NetBIOS
NetBT
Processor
RasAcd
Rdbss
Tcpip

This was all booted to safe mode.

Thanks!

Those are nearly all network related issues. Have you tried Safe Mode with Networking?

It might not hurt to post a HijackThis log. Oftentimes when when network-related stuff has gone wacko it's due to some malware butting in where it shouldn't.

Thanks mtrox!

More and more these days it's a quick reload, it just takes to long to get a box rid of things like Smitfraud and such...

I like to resolve these problems for personal satisfaction mostly... Not cost effective to clean up 90% of the boxes out there today.

Why must people take an XP box home and create 10 accounts on it for everyone in the house...
Those machines won't ever get repaired, just ghosted, a fresh install and robocopy the info back to an Old Data directory...

I like when they insist on a password for their account directories... You take ownership of the dir's just to find out their full of Incomplete pr0n off limewire...

What security software do you have running. Maybe your system was just re-infected due to poor defenses. We'd be glad to help you if you are unsure if your system has necessary protection.

I do some house calls for some clients and their friends. Its gotten so I tell them I'm going to sit down for one hour, then we're going to talk. Withn an hour I've cleaned up all the easy stuff and have a feel for what kind of nasty little .dll is re-appearing. At that point I let it be their desicion how far I go.

Ya just can't hand em a bill for $600 to clean up their old Celeron with 256 RAM.

Hi all,

Lately I have been having too many encounters with Mr. BSOD, 4-10 within this month of March to be exact, and it always happens when I am playing a PC game and then it clonks out (whatever sound I was hearing at the time repeats and drives a wedge into my brain - lol) & I get this:

"
Stop 0x0000008E (0XC0000005, 0XBF8023B4, 0XB4249C90, 0X00000000)

Win32k.sys - Address BF8023B4 base at BF800000, Datestamp 43446a58

"

My system was built in January of this year and here's the specs:
Asus Crosshair
AMD Athlon FX-62
Foxconn Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
2 x 300 GB Western Digital Raptors
4 GB DDR2 OCZ RAM (OCZ2N1066SR2GK)
Windows XP Pro

(One of the reasons I didn't go Vista 64 bit Ultimate to make the most usage out of my memory is not just because of the price, but how many issues people are experiencing with Vista ATM. I am at least going to wait for SP1, maybe SP2 before I convert to it so I can use & perform with the full 4.)

Now, I started off with 2 gigs of RAM orginally in the PC, then I added 2 more gigs not too long ago, the 21st of this month the 2 gigs arrived at my house and on that same day I locked them in place on my motherboard.

Please advise on what I should do. Thanks so much.

PS: Great work, troll, on finding out a possible solution to solving problems with the horrid BSOD. You work is greatly appreciated by all of us.

Thank You!

What it sounds like to me is a RAM problem, get yourself a copy of memtest :

http://www.memtest.org/download/1.70....70.floppy.zip

Unpack the zip and create the bootable floppy

Shut everything down and remove all your ram sticks.
Put them back in one at a time and boot the memtest floppy.

Let each stick go through at least one pass...
If RED lines start scrolling at bottom, you have a bad memory...

Ummm.....I hate to say it, but any alternative if I don't have a floppy drive installed? =(

EDIT: Oh wait nevermind there's instructions for the CD route. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

I found uninstalling Bit Torrent and all associated files did the trick for me. Not sure it is the cure but it's worth ago if you use that program.

Hi all, not great with computers, so I've tried following your tips here, but to no real help. I have run MemTest, and ihave an error! but it doesn't make any sense.

Any help would be great,

Paul

The message is...

Thanks for the post. I encountered the same problem...among many others on one of my co-workers pc. There was no doubt that it was the source of the problem. I would also note that lzx32.sys was in the stop error code during the diagnosis.

Paul,

What you're seeing is memory locations that do not write, then read accurately. No need to worry about the location addresses you see there. There should be 0 errors, none. With healthy memory, Memtest will run all night making many passes...all with no erorrs.

You have bad memory. Pitch it fast. This is a good excuse to upgrade and get more so you'll come out in the end.

Hi, Tam

Your computer is showing similar errors, or the exact same numbers. We need to know, as different codes specify different problems.

Any idea what may be the cause?

MS says it's from faulty hardware, but what else is new? Heh.

How long does your computer stay up for? If you suspect a virus, try running HJT and post a log in our Spyware removal forum. You could also try testing out your memory with MemTest. In any case , I recommend starting your own thread so you don't get lost in the shuffle of this one.

Hi all im having a problem with my comp rebooting.

sometimes it happens just randomly when im not even touching the thing and nothing is running but this is a rare occurance.
the main problem im having is with a game im trying to play. Empire Earth 2 i have played it on this same PC before but i uninstalled it and havent played it for about half a year.

now i can load the game up fine and im ok in the menues but once i start a game it is only a matter of 20-0 secs before my comp reboots.

i was told to cnange my settings so i can see an error message and i got it.

***STOP:0X0000008E (0XC0000005,5XBFAABE50,0XF1288ALE,0X00000000)

***ati3duag.dll-Adress BFAABE56 base at BFA93000, Datestamp 4458dbcc

now im a completly ingonrant when it comes to comps i mean i dont know anything. but after reading this thread i have hope that you guys might be able to help me.

i have done the RustBFix thingy and it found nothing.

i cant get that Memtest thing to work because i dont have a working floppy and not sure how to put it onto disk because it just says enter floppy, no disk option.

any help would be gratly appricated if you need anymore details il be glad to try and find them for you but like i said im really computor illitirate so i kinder need step by step instructions

Helios,

That ati3duag.dll file is the driver for your ATI video card. I know the game used to run fine, but that was a year ago before lots of other updates came and went elsewhere in your computer. First thing I'd do is see if there is an update for the video card driver.

Go to Start> Control Panel> System. Then click the Hardware tab, then Device Manager. Click the + by Display Adapters then you'll see your ATI card. Right click it and click "Update Driver...". Let it go through it's steps to update that driver.

I'm not sure that will solve it, but that is where your problem lies and it's the most likely starting point.

mtrox thanks for the suggestion.

I followed your steps but it just said, the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed.

man i wish there was just a simple solution to this computors have to be so stubbon lol.

well i un-installed my drivers and then re-installed them and the problem still persists.

my card is a Radeon 7500 seris by the way if that helps it may be to old or something but still like i said it used to work and i seem to have the latest drivers for it.
