Memory error... I think?

I got this error. What does it mean?
 
 
Is this a memory problem, or just a software problem?

Most likely a software error.  To be sure run the Dell Diagnostics and test the memory.  You can do a more extensive memory test by downloading the free Memtest86 utility here.  It runs off a bootable CD.
 
PCMService.exe is part of Dell Media Experience.

i had the same problem heres what to do.. I just resolved my issue by turning off automatic updates, reboot, then manually going to windows updates and installing the updates, turing on automatic updates, reboot.  

It seems that code has to do with some sort of Pentium program error detection.  I would assume that my machine failed to autoinstall an update and this error was the result...please try and I hope this helps you out.

We have this issue with IE...and do not have Auto Updates enabled.  One of the first things that came to mind was to update the OS...no effect.
 
I have this issue on two D430's with XP.  I have another D430 running Vista and it doesn't have this problem.
