A friend of mines computer has started to randomly get BSODs.
The error is:
Quote*** stop: 0x0000008e (0x00000005, 0x8013ae03, 0xa66c3ccc, 0x00000000)
Whats the first things to try to fix it?
Thanks a lot

You should always google the code it gives you, and preferably make a note of the error message below it if one is provided, e.g. IRQ_NOT_LESS_EQUAL
Not being funny Tek_Ed but that link looks like a complete scamtrap, there will be a root cause for the error probably completely unrelated to the registry:

;)
Is that a real program....as in you dont have to pay for crap after youve installed it etc?
I did find that when I googled, but looked too much like one of them programs.
Cheers Clockd, I will try and get the error message too :)
Just reinstall Windows, it takes far less time than spending the time finding out and applying a fix :P
Sorry bout that. Shouldve really checked it was legit.. :whoops:

And there was me thinking it was a site used by Tekheads to work out BSOD issues :P

Not really, if its a hardware or driver issue and keeps reoccuring.
