Ok sometimes when I am browsing the internet or listening to music or am on programs the computer reboots randomly.  It tells me this:

Stop: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005 0x6F53A30c 0xEF0326AO 0x00000000)

or it somtimes says this

Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0xE23B4000 0x00000001 0x00000001 0x77B70300)

the message says it may be something with the drivers but I don't know which ones.  It said to update BIOS and I have but it isn't helping...do you guys have any suggestion?Google brings up lots of info - is this any good to you??

Several things come to mind.
 
1)First run free RAM test at www.memtest86.com
 
2)Do you by chance have a VIA IDE controller? (No info about your system so we are forced to guess?)
 
3)Do you have a legal Windows CD to reload if ncessary?
 
4) Seems to be a problem with certain configurations and Symantec products.Yes I have a VIA Bus master IDE controller...what kind of computer info do you need?Do you have Norton Antivirus, or any other Norton product?Yes I do I don't use it a LOT though...is there any other info you need?Did you click on Dusty's 'this' link?
We should make these links a little more contrasting, they are easy to miss.Try uninstalling Norton and see if this resolves the issue.

AVG Free is less problematic and free:

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1I clicked the link I found a solution to the second problem but I am still GETTING the first stop error.  I uninstalled Norton but it didn't work.  I downloaded MEMTEST but I have no idea how to use it.Now need to know.....

1.  Is there any message PRECEDING or following the stop: 8E message :-?.
2.  What are your pc specs :-?.  Hardware & software please.
3.  Did you install/re-install any software/hardware immediately before the error messages begain to appear :-?  Including any upgraded drivers.
4.  Did you change any hardware settings or do a bit of tweaking/overclocking :-?

ThanksThe stop messate says I may not have enough disk space...or something wrong with drivers...or I need a BIOS update.  I updated my BIOS already, I checked the Drivers none of them seem to have anything wrong with them.  Here are my specs:

My computer is a hp pavilion 524c
disk drive:ST380020A
Display adapters: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR
Primar IDE Channel
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
AMD Athlon XP 2200 Speed: 1800 MHz
Avance AC97 Audio for VIA audio controller
legacy audio drivers
VIA CPU to AGP controller
Via Standard CPU to PCI bridge

uhhh what else do you need to know?

We need to know your free space on c: drive... (not the exact dimension, just an approximation: 10 Megs, 1 Gig etc)i have 46 GB of free space and my whole c drive can hold 69 GBIf you have an onboard NIC, try disabling it via the BIOS.
