XP with the dreaded blue screen?

Hi there!!!
Been receiving problems with my computer which now have resulted in me
obtaining a blue screen which talks about BIOS and updates and memory space?
As far asi know these are all fine. Basically i load my game through CD
player where the computer atempts to load it, followed by a blue screen (with
strange script)
It states that windows has stopped to protect itself with the following
garbaged message, "Stop:0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x00000242, 0XED3DBCC8,
0X00000242, 0XED3DBCC8, 0X00000000)", with a timer counting up, stating it is
dumping memory?
I use XP, recently just installed Windows service packtwo, and had a problem
accessing my hotmail inbox messages(error on page), which had resolved itself
since i changed virus protection (PC-cillin to AVG). This fixed the problem,
but that was a few days ago, and now it won't let me do anything major. I
can access the net and play songs, videos etc but won't let me play my
game....? (This is the first time i've used my PC since i removed
PC-cillin). I have also just uninstalled Kazaa as its rubbish!!! SAVE YOUR
MONEY FOLKS! I connect using NTL broadband and also use Zone alarm firewall?
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT THERE?
HAS IT ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY USB2.0 DEVICE, I DO HAVE AN UNKNOWN DRIVER
(think its for networking?)
The rest is mystery?
Thanks very much
Denise

What game are you running when this problem occurs?

Do you have the updates/patches for the game?

What is the USB device?

Have you tried playing the game without the USB device being connected?
