Description of Error:
Whenever I run applications like Virtual Dub, TMPEC, or high processing programs. Or sometimes when I Just leave the computer on.
Info on those programs: They are encoding programs for converting divx --> Vcd etc or encoding into divx format etc etc.
I get no file associated with it. just the standard blue screen:
Windows has been shut down to avoid damaging your computer, then it gives the messaging about, if this is the first time you have seen this error, try restarting your computer. If you have added any hardware etc etc.
Try disable catching in your BIOS etc etc (tried that also).
Only Issue I can find on this is on MS website about KMODE error on Install of XP, but I don't get it on install, its just running my computer that I am getting that stop error screen.
I hope I have been in depth enough to help!
Also, I have auto-logging on etc, but there is no log file showing up for this.. ~Jared Webmas...@rom-mania.com

You're right, that's all that's there explicitly referring to this. Usually the 0x8E error, though, will name a file (such as a driver file) that is giving a problem. That's a very good place to start. Besides that, the best I can think of is to suggest the *generic* Stop Message troubleshooting list on http://aumha.org/kbestop.htm:
1.. If you've recently added new hardware, remove it and retest. 2.. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the manufacturer. 3.. Make sure device drivers and system BIOS are up-to-date. 4.. However, if you've installed new drivers just before the problem appeared, try rolling them back to the older ones. 5.. Open the box and make sure all hardware is correctly installed, well seated, and solidly connected. 6.. Confirm that all of your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List. If some of it isn't, then pay particular attention to the non-HCL hardware in your troubleshooting. 7.. Check for viruses. 8.. Examine the System Log and Application Log in Event Viewer for other recent errors that might give further clues. 9.. Investigate recently added software. 10.. Examine (and try disabling) BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
You don't say how much RAM you have. If you have at least 256MEG, turn on driver verifer (using verifier.exe). This will enable a buch of troubleshooting code in the kernel that will help isolate the faulting component (bad driver, bad memory, etc).
BTW, Please click the "send error report" button. If there is a bad known driver on your machine, you'll get an immediate answer back at to what it was.

Jared,
I have been troubleshooting system problems with similar although not exactly the same setup you have. Two things about you setup and symptoms. I have found that in 99% of the cases it boiled down to a ram issue, or specifically, pairs of ram. Try removing one stick and see if your problems go away. Check your bios settings as far as timings are concerned. If the symptoms clear up, you may have to use more conservative settings for your ram in order to get them to play nice. If ram does not clear up the problem, then start looking at your installed hardware / device drivers one at a time.
Post back and let us know how you are progressing...
