0x8E errors are indicative of a hardware issue. Try the following and get back to us with the results.

1. Run Mmtest on your RAM for a minimum of 7 passes. You can get this from www.memtest.org. If you can't burn to a CD then have one of your friends do it. Reboot with the CD already in the drive. The test will take over alnost immediately. If you have any errors you have corrupted memory that must be replaced. If errors run the test per stick to determine if one or all need to be replaced.

2. In Safe Mode run a full harddrive diagnostics. You can get a free utility from your harddrive manufacturer.

3. Scan for viruses.

*** Do memtest first.

Okay, then attach minidumps. Remember, don't Zip each and everyone. Zip 5 together.

Also, please give us your system specs, your OS, and what antivirus, firewall, etc. you are running.

Re:

- I've attached the mini dumps.

- Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Acer Aspire 5715z
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU @ 1.60 GHz. 1.60GHz
Ram: 1014MB
System Type: 32 bit

- I was running Norton Internet Security (Virus Scan + Firewall). But it won't run in safe mode. Then I used Avast, Avira and Malbytes Malware Removal which worked in safe mode. They tracked some viruses, and I removed them.

- I also read somewhere that cleaning the Windows Registry can also cure this problem. So I used Registry Mechanic and Registry Repair Wizard 2009 to do so. The difference it has made is that I get the BSOD 15 or so seconds later than I did before.

All of your errors are: 0x8E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).

In your case it is a driver: Symevent.sys that belongs to Symantec (Norton).

If you have uninstalled this keep in mind Norton is notorious for leaving remnants of itself behind and you have to go to their website to use their tool specifically designed by them to make sure all remanantts are removed.

If you didn't uninstall Norton and you have Advast, Antivir, and Malbytes still on your system then you are going to have all kinds of conflicts.

The rule is: One antivirus, one firewall, one antispyware; or One security suit.

If you decide to keep Norton, uninstall the rest and update your Norton. You may need to reinstall Norton.
