I just put together a new build and I'm occasionally getting a stop code:
0xa0000001 along with the W8.1 version of the BSofD.

I'm having trouble identifying this code and finding whatever dump file or error file that might go along with it that I would need to explore it further.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

It's only happening occasionally and only when I'm using flash player in full screen mode, usually when I switching it on or off. (Firefox).

My build:
PSU: Corsair RM 750
Mobo: GA-B85-HD3:

I'll look into memtest, but I'd prefer to get a little better idea first what the code means and if there are any files associated with the error message. I did do the windows version of memory test, and that came out clean. If it turns out to be memory, I'd actually more suspect the onboard GPU memory before the system memory. I'm not sure if memtest can check for that, but I'll look into it.

I put the whole build together and installed Windows 8.1 on a fresh SSD, even using windows to format the SSD. All software and hardware drivers were installed in their Windows 8 versions.

I have done some high resolution gaming for prolonged periods of time and have had no trouble whatsoever. Seems very strange that something as low demand as flash player would be the thing to bring up the BSofD. Makes me wonder if this isn't drivers.

I recently turned off Firefox options for hardware acceleration and I've been using flash player today for a couple hours, but so far so good.

Thanks for your advice. I'll look into memtest, but as I said, I'm still hoping for more information on the code itself.
