Hello, everyone. At my workplace lately we've been getting a Blue Screen of Death on one of our domain controllers. There are no extra services running on the domain controller. It is a MPC NetFrame 1420 and the following error code shows up in the event log:

Stop Error 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xf325df48, 0xf372e714, 0x00000000)

Once we send the automatic error report, it tells us a device driver could be bad. If you need any other details, just ask.

Disable you Virus scanner for a bit. I've seen both McAfee and Nortons kill a server after a bad update.

Now if that works you will want to completly remove the Vscan program and reinstall it.

If this doesn't solve the issue then you will need to look at any drivers that might have changed recently. Was any hardware added or changed? Was a Microsoft update loaded that changed the driver files?

Check the NIC, video and SCSI/SATA drivers first. These are the most critical.

Best of luck

After 1 of the disks on my hp ml110 failed (was in a RAID 1 configuration) the system wouldn't boot. Duplicated the data to a new disk and rebuilt the array.

Once the machine was booted, as we attempted to login the Windows server blue screened with stop code 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x808BC9DD, code changes, 0x00000000).

I've suspected registry failure / AD failure, however MS technet say find the program the is enumerating the registry?

Check the basics: (tried the above, had symantec corp AV on, removed all startup apps in the registry (RUN))

can boot and login to the server in safe mode or directory services mode.... just applied service pack - system doesn't book properly. Still getting BSOD - only now it happens shortly after the Windows logo appears.

This seems to be the night for minidumps.

If it is a driver, minidump analysis shuld pinpoint the driver. You can send the last couple via peer mail if you need assistance analyzing the dump files.

I have also seen faulty memory cause 0x8E stop errors.

I'm assuming that OS is Server 2003.
