Hello, when i start up my computer i get as far as the blue screen with
stop error code 0x000008e but cant get any further, not even in safe mode. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks, kristina knaggs
 
Time to learn to use Google! Go to google.com and search for that error code.
 
already done it... all the help is if i can actually get into windows, but all i can get to is the blue screen, no further before it restarts its self (im on a diffrent computer now). its stuck in some sort of infinit loop.
 
nope, i get the windows loading screen, then a blank screen with an arrow and then it cuts out and restarts again.
 
Hey! the error code is appears on blue screen with white words if yes then its may be due to hard disk failure.So check out your SATA and reinsert it.If nothing happen try to replace it with spare one for check.
