I encoutered a constant BSOD when i run 1 of the online games (FLYFF Online) of my brother. Everytime it loads, this stop message appears in the BSOD. 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xad512ade, 0xb404dac0, 0x00000000)

a year ago, we were able to play this game. Now, it always comes to that stop error and we cannot find what is the cause of it.

my HJT Log was already checked by OddJob and Steamwiz at the Spyware Help Thread and it is clean.

As I read it, the 0x0000008E part refers to a problem with RAM. My research has come up with a reference to running this program from MS http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp . Keep us updated on your progress. Others may have further info, stay tuned.

With only 5.47 GIGs of free HD, you may be pushing the limits. Ideally, you should have 20 to 30 % free. Running XP, background programs and a game leaves very little elbow room for virtual memory and the hard drive has to work harder too. Try freeing up more space (or better, add a slave drive) and see if that helps.
