• The 0x0000008E 0xc0000005 combination often points to memory problems, especially if the errors started to occur after RAM upgrade. Try to remove the newly installed memory and see if the errors disappear. Also, don’t forget to verify its compatibility with your computer. If memory replacement helps, check the new memory with memory test software (we recommend MemTest86). If the test reveals flaws, you may want a refund or replace the faulty memory with a good one to remove get rid of the blue screen and 0x0000008E 0xc0000005 codes.

• Bad driver is another cause of 0x0000008E 0xc0000005 (the text on the blue screen may prompt you about the driver name). Try to remove the latest driver installations if you had any and contact the vendor about the issue if that helps. Optionally, you can try to start up with the Last Known Good Configuration. But these changes will be permanent and they will affect all system settings, not just a single driver. System Restore is another alternative which rolls your system back to a selected timepoint when you know the system worked properly and allows to undo the changes.

• Install the latest Windows Service pack. If the error text mentions win32k.sys or wdmaud.sys files, or the hardware acceleration settings on the graphics card have been configured, that may help.

• Reinstalling Windows is a radical method, but it works sometimes (provided that the 0x0000008E 0xc0000005 message is not a hardware problem).
