BSOD browsing internet, 0x0000008e
Hello.
I've got a BSOD just now while browsing the internet and using an instant communicator, it happened when I clicked on the said communicator or so I think.
First I thought it might have been cause by some power failure as my old TV died just after I received the BSOD. Also I've been seeing the HAL errors in event viewer which possibly mean I have to update BIOS but I'm afraid to touch it as this is my only laptop right now.
Using BlueScreenView I determined halmacpi and ntkrnlpa.exe being the probable cause.
