Blue screen message

Intel dual-core 2.3 GHz, 4Gb ram.

I got a blue screen when I shut down and it included the following...

Technical Information:

***STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X804EF196, 0XBA50F734, 0X00000000)

Can anyone tell me what this means and what I need to do about it?

Thanks

Stuart

I'd run a RAM test ASAP

8E stop: A kernel-mode program generated an exception that the error
handler didn't catch. Typically a hardware issue, like for a driver or
memory.

Update a driver lately? If so, why? What was broken using the old
driver? The latest driver isn't necessarily the best driver or even a
good driver. New code means new problems.

Does the stop with BSOD also mean you can't boot anymore? Can you
reboot okay or do you get the 8E error on each try? If so, have you
tried booting into Windows safe mode using the F8 boot-time menu? If
safe mode didn't work, have you tried "Last known good configuration" in
the F8 boot menu?

Did you power down, unplug all USB devices, and then power up to see if
Windows would boot okay?

You have a hardware issue. See the post by VanguardL.H

Thanks for responding. To my knowledge there has been no change regarding
drivers. It's something I never mess around with.
After powering down, I rebooted and got the boot menu screen. I chose to run
Windows normally, and it did. I've had no further problems shutting down or
rebooting since then.
The odd thing is that nothing seems to have been going wrong in Windows
before I shut down. I haven't been having any issues with USB devices
either.

It's Windows after all, which means that if you don't reboot it in a
timely fashion (i.e. frequently) it'll crash on you, it'll even crash
because of the reboot you're doing to prevent the crash.

If it hasn't shown up again, then I wouldn't worry about it. If you
think things might be going wrong, then make sure you have enabled the
small memory crash dump feature of Windows. Then if it does crash the
next time, you'll have a file which records what the system was doing
prior to the crash. Then you use an utility like Bluescreenview to
analyze it:
