Hi everyone,
I find all the solution very informative, but I am kind of confuse to the culprit of my problem.
I had this problem before two months ago, and resolve it by
following the instructions given.
The problem that I am having now is narrowing it down.
I get a STOP Code:0x0000008E(0xC00000005,0X8243C(?)157,0XAC5D91C,0X00000000)

I ran and did all the things suggested and none of this was the problem.
I even updated my BIOS, which needed it the most and still I get the same results.
What I am asking is there anything or a step that I missing or did wrong?:O

Oh before I forget my OS is Windows Vista and I can't boot normally is the real problem because I got no sound and cannot do anything while in Safe Mode.

    Did you follow the entire guide here?
    Test H/W (memory mostly, but HDD test wont hurt), then try vista's startup repair. (that is just what i would do, but the guide details all of that)

    I had received a blue screen of death with a stop error a few weeks ago while using Windows XP. I could not get the OS to load to even enter safe mode. I removed everything attached to the system except the monitor then rebooted. I received the keyboard error at startup then shut down holding the power button for 5 seconds. I reattached the keyboard and mouse then rebooted and everything worked fine. I believe that my external hard drive had an issue that stopped the drive then XP crashed then flagged the system as having a failure at the hard drive. Perhaps you have an external hd that you turned off without using the "safely remove hardware" features? just trying to help ...

    Sounds like you've got some troubleshooting to do.
