What is causing my "Serious System Error"?

[Thesuperiorone]

Alrighty. I am trying to figure out why I am having these "Serious System Errors" that seem to occur for no apparent reason. The error has happened at least 4 times over the last 4 or 5 days. It requests I send an error report to Microsoft (yeaaaaaaaaah right). This is the data I got from the error...

BCCode:1000008e BCP1:C0000005 BCP2: 80560f64 BCP3: F8975B58
BCP4: 00000000 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP:1_0 PRODUCT 256_1

then I click to see what files would be in the report:

c:\WINDOWS\Minidump\mini102004-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\CHRISR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER3.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

What could this error be caused by? I have not installed anything new, upgraded/downgraded anything, and can not fathom what the cause could be..

Thoughts/comments/suggestions???

Plenty of hits at Google on this. Some mention a corrupt Paging File as the cause.

What additional clues are in your Event Viewer?
