[QUOTE="Paul B., post: 319025, member: 32175"] The first thing to do is back up your personal data, in case the drive is failing. I probably would pull the drive and run chkdsk /f /r on it on another machine, or you could use the Windows Recovery disk in the original machine to do the same thing (the partition letters will be changed though, so you'll have to poke around to find the right drive). But don't do a /r until your data is backed up because it can be destructive. In fact, I would image the whole drive for an easy transition should it be necessary. Also, I've never seen an active BSOD. This sounds like a more routine error message. [/QUOTE]
