kernel data inpage error on my dell laptop

sscrabble

I get this regularly - it crashes and gives me a blue screen - I just restart and it is fine for varying periods - might be 12 hours , might be three days - it has been doing it for months now - its not the end of the world because I restart the computer and it works fine - even remembers my firefox pages --- but it is still a pain - anyone know if there is an easy fix for this --- I amon vista on a dell inspiron 1721 laptop

If you could quote the message code it may help.....

it says kernel-data-inpage-error
- stop 00000007a (oxc0604000, 0xc000009d, 0xo5c90880, 0xc0800000)



I just copied that down last time it happened - those are the numbers that appear on the blue screen, along with the explanation that it is shutting down as there is a fatal error.

Just about to go out but quick goog found this
• 0xC000009D, or STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, indicates defective or loose data or power cables, a problem with SCSI termination, or improper controller or disk configuration.

That was found from here - http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/43519-windows-xp-blue-screen-of-death-stop-codes/

Have a look, or perhaps one of our friends might have a look.

Good luck for now... got to dash :beer: at the doorstep

Could be lots of things ...check all fans are working and heat ducts aren't blocked up with fluff ...

but my best guess would be a hard drive approaching the end of its life....I would make sure all your data is backed up, and then do a system restore(back to factory settings) to help to rule out a software problem..if it still happens after that, prepare to replace the drive.
