freeze at giveio.sys then blue screen STOP: 0x0000008E
Help please, i'm pretty desperate. My Pc suddenly lost everything from the screen but the power stayed on. I then turned the power off and restarted it. It attempted to load XP but then I was presented with A blue screen.
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x323CACD8, 0xF78A23B4, 0x00000000)
I then restarted it again and tried starting in safe mode, as it was loading it seemed to hang at giveio.sys eventually it brought me back to the blue screen. I've tried taking the RAM out and just leaving one in, and then swtiching them, that still didn't work. I've tried unplugging everything except the power and video lead and it still doesnt work.
I plugged in just the keyboard and tried booting from the last known working settings but that didn't work either but the stop code was slightly different.
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x3231ECD8, 0xF78A23B4, 0x00000000)
Does anyone know how I can get around any of this and get back into windows?
Thanks

Usually, if you aren't overheating, they're best solved by a reformat. Stop errors are too nebulous and uninformative to really try and troubleshoot. I'd suggest pulling the hard drive, attaching it to another system, and copying off any files you want to save. Then give it a fresh reformat.
Apparently what I told you worked for one person and may get you some relief. Hope it works out.
