When I turned on my computer today, it gets to the starting windows screen then it goes to this BSOD and it restarts the computer back to the same screen, any ideas on how to fix it?

How old is the system? Are you running at stock speeds or overclocking?

0x8E BSODs can be caused by faulty RAM, so it's worth trying each stick on its' own to see if the issue persists. It may also be worthwhile running memtest.

Sorry, I didn't mention this but it's a AIO computer which is a few years old but I will try each RAM stick and run Memtest to see if there's any errors
 
Doing a search for CI.dll came up with some pages from 2011 talking about a Rootkit virus that infects the system connected to the dll file.

You could try downloading an up-to-date bootable virus scanner like Avira and run that to see if it can find the problem.

I have used Hiren's BootCD to run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot - Search & Destroy which picked up some viruses and I have removed them but still can't boot into Windows so I'm thinking of backing up my hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows but how do I backup my Chrome and Firefox bookmarks?
 
Sounds like the damage has been done, regarding the bookmarks if you reinstall windows and do not format does it not put everything into a "Windows Old" folder which you can go hunting for the bookmarks then just redo the install and format.

Either that or if you can get a second hard drive you arnt using and install windows on that temporarily and just connect the old drive up after to go rooting for stuff before doing a proper reinstall.
