A B717 rejected its takeoff at 80 kts after a computer fault indicating a stabilizer problem caused a master caution light; ead annunciation; and an aural warning. All indications and settings were normal prior to takeoff throttle up.

Narrative:
During takeoff and just after 80 kt call; received master caution and ead alerts as well as aural warnings indicating stabilizer problems. Rejected takeoff at approximately 90 kts with no adverse effects; cleared runway and proceeded to analyze situation. Through conversation with maintenance control; decided to return to gate to problem solve. All settings were properly entered for takeoff and ead was green prior to throttle-up. Noticed that FMS had dropped the 'stabilizer' trim out and configuration synoptic showed amber trim indications. Contract maintenance ran tests and cleared faults then returned aircraft to service. Long delay but completed that flight segment.
