It shuts down & says:your computer is shutting down to PREVENT damage. It says I need to disable a driver or update it. Can you tell me how to find the drivers? What do I do?Much more relevant info on your machine, OS and what happened prior to this and the posse' will be along shortly...Its a Compaq Presario 5000, Win XP SP2.1300mhz, A blue screen comes up, has a stop message:0x0000008e. Says driver ,FIRST letter looks like an upsidedown L 81xdnt5.dll, needs to be updated or disabled.Yep that message defininetly points to a driver conflict of sorts...have you added or subtracted anything from that machine recently ? ?

One place to check would be Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager...look for yellow exclamation points.I got it solved, I hope, It seems to be doing alright now. I RAN CCleaner, SpyBot Search & DESTROY & that seems to have fixed it.Sometimes we are just that quick...

But i DOUBT seriously that a driver conflict could be solved by the things you did...expect more issues in the days to follow.LOL! I hope not!Trust me.
