Recently I've been getting the BSoD ***STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005.. ) after logging into my vista XPS m1530 model laptop. After I enter my password, it loads the screen, then a few seconds later the BSoD will show and start a physical memory dump. It tells me to do some thing like check if your RAM has enough room or to disable BIOS caching or shadowing or something. I've been looking up answers to fix this problem online but it's all too complicated for me to understand. Can someone please help!?

    Have you tried booting in to Safe Mode, or using Last Known Good Configuration ?

    Thank you Katana!! Yes I have tried to boot in to Safe Mode. The only thing that works is Safe Mode with Networking, and last known good configuration gives me the BSoD as well. Today I was working with someone from Dell XPS center and they scanned my computer. The reason for the BSoD is a virus.

    Have they sorted the problem, or do you still require help ?
