Hard Error d0000144

Jeff121

My Dell Laptop has developed a fault. after windows XP loads a message comes up saying cant access memory the screen changes to blue inner screen with black background with message "STOP: d0000144 Unknown Hard Error Unknown Hard Error"
I dont have any recovery disc and haven't a clue what to do with this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

did a quick google - plenty of reading for you.

Couple of questions to think about:-

Have you installed any new software recently?
HAve you installed any new hardware recently?
Is it under warranty? If so dont attempt any repairs or you will void it.

If you pop your error code into google there is many posts on the same topic.

Ive listed acouple of the better ones below

Thanks Nelly05
Unfortunately out of warranty.
Have googled the error (thankfully have pc to fall back on as laptop is not operating). Went to the site you have posted 2nd on your list clicked on a few links from there and currently on www.pchell.com following how to attempt a repair under safe mode.
Prior to the Laptops problem I had installed free trial anti virus suite from Bitdefender.
Have uninstalled this and now running spyware doctor, still in safe mode, also run RegCure registry scan.
I will let you know how I get on with this process and either its success or failure?
On reading a few posts via the Google links on this file error problem the Blue screen seems to be known as "The Screen Of Death" hope not, cant really afford a new laptop at present.....
Thanks again
Jeff

Success...... (touch wood) have removed bitdefender, dont know if that's what caused the problem but laptop is running fine, have re booted it and everything OK.
