ok, I've been getting the windows blue error screen for the past few weeks and its become more and more frequent. Here is the error:

0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x89E14B50, 0x89E14CC4, 0x80604450)

I believe its an error with either a new hardware device or device driver, which I believe to be my hard drive. My hard drive is not new, I just think that its failing. Lately my computer has been freezing and crashing and having lots of problems. Sometimes it would freeze and then I would have to manually shut it down, then when I go to start it back up again sometimes it wont boot, telling me to enter the boot device. When that happens, I take the cable thing that connects your harddrive to the motherboard out of the harddrive and then plug it back in and the computer will boot up. So, I dont know if the problem is the hard drive itself, the cable, the motherboard, or something else. I do have a 550W power supply that isnt too good, idk if that has anything to do with it, I would assume not.

Any information on this error would be GREATLY appreciated, because I really dont want to lose my hard drive and frankly im getting sick of it. Suggestions please:

If noone here knows what the problem might be, I'll probaboy end up taking it to a computer shop, altough I have been avoiding it and trying to fix it on my own.

It may be your memory........ Id try putting your ram in a different slot. What kind of memory do you have and how many sticks of it??

[IWantWhiteCastle]

I would be more than suprised if it was my memory. I have 2 x 256 mb sticks that came with the computer and a 1 x 1gb corsair stick with 4 slots.

Id 86 the 2x 256 and give it a shot. Generic memory sucks. (especially if you combine it with other types of memory. Prolly not your HDD.... Computer shop =

Thanks lost, that was exactly what I was looking for. I'm gonna get some new cables and see if that fixes it
