So I've had this computer for about 7 years. The model number says it's an "EMACHINES T5224" but I have no idea of how to get the specs (I don't know too much about computers), but it runs Microsoft Vista and I haven't made any upgrades. And about 2-3 years ago it flipped out after I tried copying and pasting mp3 files: the colors started to be scrambled (for pack of a better word) and they would rearrange whenever something on screen would normally react (ie: mousing over icons, clicking and dragging over desktop, etc.). The functions of the computer technically worked fine but I couldn't see what was going on.
I left it alone since then with the vague idea that it had something to do with the graphics card. This week I tried to do a system restore but no luck. After a few attempts booting up, it decided to not even boot up and it bluescreened with an error code starting with "STOP: 0x0000008e" now I have no idea what is causing the problem. Hopefully you guys could help me!
I wish I had a picture of the problem before the bluescreen, but as soon as I figure out how, I'll post a picture of the blue screen (I'm typing this on a phone...). The full error code is "STOP: 0x0000008e (0xC0000005, 0x8c2FF057, 0x88FC39A8, 0x00000000)".
Thanks!
