Sorry Jelle on closer inspection it doesn't look like it's the same problem you were having.
I found a fix for mine on that site. But reading it again it seems to be a fix for PCs with SP1. As yours is brand new I'd expect it to have SP2. Here's the garb that was on the site anyway:
"Windows XP QFE Q813818 for: This QFE fix the problem that IEEE1394 storage device detection sometimes fails when the computer is resumed from Suspend or Hibernation mode on
Window XP SP1a
This QFE fix the problem that IEEE1394 storage device detection sometimes fails when the computer is resumed from Suspend or Hibernation mode on Window XP SP1a.
STOP 0x0000008E Error Message on a Blue Screen and Your Computer Does Not Enter Hibernation or Standby after You Remove an IEEE 1394 Storage Device.
Additional details about this problem can be found in the Microsoft KB: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;us;813818
This fix is to be used on the VAIO models listed below.
WinXP Pro/Home SP1/SP1a All Notebook and Desktop PCs.
