I got the above error when logging on with a blue screen but after reboot it worked fine. Know what caused the error?

0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
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).
“STOP 0x0000008e” Error Message During Windows XP Setup {KB 315335} Win XP
Games: “Stop” Error Message That References Nv4_disp.dll {KB 325730} Flight Simulator, other games (wth Nvidia-based video adapter)

0x1000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Essentially the same error as 0x8E above.
