Title: Computer Shutting Down?
Post by: dozerman on January 28, 2007, 03:22:55 PM

It shuts down & says:your computer is shutting down to prevent damage. It says I need to disable a driver or update it. Can you tell me how to find the drivers? What do I do?

Its a Compaq Presario 5000, Win XP SP2.1300mhz, A blue screen comes up, has a stop message:0x0000008e. Says driver ,first letter looks like an upsidedown L 81xdnt5.dll, needs to be updated or disabled.

Yep that message defininetly points to a driver conflict of sorts...have you added or subtracted anything from that machine recently ? ?

One place to check would be Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager...look for yellow exclamation points.

I got it solved, I hope, It seems to be doing alright now. I ran CCleaner, SpyBot Search & Destroy & that seems to have fixed it.

Sometimes we are just that quick...

But i doubt seriously that a driver conflict could be solved by the things you did...expect more issues in the days to follow.
