Error Message???

[Chris]

I have a computer that is only a few months old running
XP, and has had no problems up until a few days ago,
without warning?!?! When I turn the computer on and use
it for a few minutes, it gives me a blue screen of death
that says... "Stop: c000007b Unknown Hard Error
Unknown Hard Error
Beginning Dump of Physical Memory"

If I reboot the computer right away, it starts searching
for IDE devices??? But if I leave the computer off for a
long period of time it will start fine and work for
another few minutes and it all starts over again??? A
little help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris.

I'm not a hardware type but it sounds to me like some computer component is
overheating. I've had similar problems when my computer room temperature was
high. Perhaps this is your case or the one of the computer's fans is not
working.

This stop is defined as 'inaccessible boot device'. What are you booting
from. Have a floppy in its drive? Cd inserted? Maybe just hard drive
problem.
