Ok I have a moderate knowledge base when it comes to computers and my grandfather keeps getting BSOD with 0x0000008e I was hoping you could provide some insight as to what I can do to fix this issue. I already installed the tool on his computer but it didnt help any. Thanks in advance for your time.
PS I am submitting the 2 dump files he has on his computer
Information Driver Verifier runs in the background, "testing" drivers for bugs. If it finds one, a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will result; the corresponding dump file will hopefully show the faulty driver.

Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.
