Blue Screen of Death 0x0000008e Errors are usually caused by hardware memory failures and less often by device driver problems, viruses or hardware failures that do not affect your RAM.

You may receive a stop error message that looks like one of the following during the execution of the installation program:

STOP 0x0000008e
STOP 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

One or a combination of the following errors can be displayed in the STOP message:

STOP: 0x0000008E
KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

This behaviour can occur if one of the following conditions is met:

One or more of the RAM (Random Access Memory) modules installed on your computer are defective.
RAM configuration is not compatible with Windows.

The BSOD error 0x0000008E can also be abbreviated as STOP 0x8E, but the complete STOP code is always the one displayed on the blue STOP message.
