Stop 0x0000008 error

mdic135 · May 9, 2009

When running in non-safe mode, I get the Blue Screen, saying there is an error and the system needs to restart, with a message "Stop 0x0000008" and a number of other...numbers?

I've looked ALL over the internet and all the results I have turned up have come back to a faulty RAM, which I have eliminated as a cause.
I believe I have a Malware issue, as every time I run my Anti-malware program, it turns up a Rootkit in my drivers? It changes everytime, but eventually, even after deleting these files, they come back.
I have run HijackThis, and attached that file, as well as my malware scan results. Anything else I can post?
Thanks

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Start by uninstalling Spyware Nuker

Now please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.

TDSSserv Non-Plug & Play Driver Disable

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

Hey, chaslang.
Thanks for the response, but, believe it or not I managed to fix the issue.
I don't really know how? haha, but after installing RegRun, a program my brother recommended, and deleting some files, the crashing has stopped. I thought it might be temporary, but even actions which previously triggered crashes (example, "chkdsk \r" or whatever in the run menu) no longer cause it.

I will definitely come back to MG if I have a problem though, and thanks again for the response!
