Bc code f4 on Vista

Hello,

Im currently having an issue on one of my computers with the bluescreen code f4,
(STOP:0x000008E) I suspect its the RAM but I'd like another opition before I start messing, I've attacted the .dmp file at the bottom.

Thanks.

Even though nothing more definitive than hardware was cited as the cause in three of your five files, I believe your bad RAM suspicion is probably justified because...

1. 4 different error codes in five files is a strong indicator of corrupted memory.

2. Two errors are the same 0x8E and these are almost always caused by hardware and are especially a strong indicator of bad RAM.

* Run memtest for a minimum of 7 Passes and the more Passes after 7 so much the better. The only exception is if you begin getting errors before 7 Passes. Then stop the test and run it on individual sticks.
