FataL OE Exception

A fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:C001539A
and OD 0246:015747FB.

What does this mean? How can I fix it?

I will be on the internet or in some program and the screen will all of a sudden shut down and then turn blue with the above message. I have to then hit the space bar twice to get it off the screen and back to where I can use my computer again.

Any help on this problem would greatly be appreciated. Please e-mail me at raphoto@bellsouth.net.

Thanks,
Ron Atchley

    Had the same problem with my new Dimension 8100. Dell sent me new memory to fix the problem. Unfortunately, my motherboard is also bad, so I don't know if the new memory would have fixed the problem.
    If you are tech savy enough, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base at microsoft.com for some troubleshooting ideas. There wasn't much...
    Try running the Dell Diagnostics on your memory and/or hard drive.

    good luck

    Thanks for the information. Could you tell how to run a diagnostic test on my memory?
    Thanks,

    I booted off of a Win98 (or Win ME) boot disk, selected boot with CDROM drivers. Stuck in the Dell diagnostics CD ROM that came with my system, changed directories to
    delldiags->dim32-> 1054, then executed delldiags.exe
    The program gives you options to test the whole system or any part of it with quick or extended tests. I selected memory and let it rip!
