Is this an easy fix or complicated one?
Several times the past couple weeks my computer popped up a blue screen and
shut down then restarted. (doing a physical memory dump) Error message said IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Stop 0C0000000A 0X00000004 0X00000002 0X0000001 0X804DFEB9 Can someone walk me through this to fix it? or will I need to take it in for repair? I can't afford the latter. Dell was NO help. Thanks! |

are you sure that's the right stop error number/ Is it maybe 0x0000000A...?

This looks like a hardware issue, possibly a problem with the installed
memory on your system. There are some free tools that can check memory: http://www.memtest86.com/ http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp -- In memory of our dear friend, MVP Alex Nichol.

Have you tried the Dell Recovery disk? What happened?
Not that familiar with Dell - can you do a repair install of XP? What did Dell say in being no help? "Lady In Need" wrote in message ...

You definitely have a RAM problem. RAM modules can and do go bad...do a
Google search for memtest86, download it and let it diagnose your memory. If it is the RAM, be prepared for a battle with DELL, they are not very friendly with RAM issues...

Thank you for the reply and advice. I have tried to do this memtest86 and
for some reason it won't work. I'm so frustrated I could cry. But I won't. LOL I downloaded it. When I open it it says 'Enter Target Diskette Drive' When I put the letter in and click Enter the whole black box disappears. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. But what?

Okay.... I was able to download and install DocMemory. When it came to the
part to pick the BurnInTest or Quick test I moved the mouse to click on the Quick one and it froze. I rebooted and tried it again and the same thing happen. So the third time I left the mouse alone and it ran the Burn one on its own. It made it through 8 loops and I passed them all. During the 9th loop I accidently bumped the mouse and it froze again. I couldn't even use Esc to abort. So I had to shut the comp off and turn it back on. That part took almost 3 hours. Since I'm heading to bed I'll run it again like before. Hopefully it will make it through the whole thing. I'll post again tomorrow morning. Colette "Lady In Need" wrote: never mind........ so out of it I'm putting the wrong letter in. It's working now.

First, given that you had a problem each time you moved the mouse, the mouse
might be the issue. If you have access to another system, you might try the mouse and that system for a bit and see if the problem comes up or, if you have a separate mouse, you might swap it for the one you have and see if you still have the issue. If you still have the issue, we're back to testing the ram. The next step, assuming you have more than one ram stick installed would be to remove one and see if you still have the issue and then test the other one alone to see if you have the issue. -- In memory of our dear friend, MVP Alex Nichol.

Good morning. I'm running XP- home. So the 'passed' may not be accurate then? "lvee" wrote: Are you running windows xp? or 2000? It is likely ban ram, as suggested. But there are a couple of things you can do first.. I have received false positives regarding bad ram. First, post back with your os, xp? or 2000? "Lady In Need" wrote in message ... Well when I woke up this morning it said it was on Burn In Loop #19. It had stopped there. It said Passed 18 ... Failed 0 The elapsed time was 6 hrs 40 min. What should I do now? "Lady In Need" wrote: Okay.... I was able to download and install DocMemory. When it came to the part to pick the BurnInTest or Quick test I moved the mouse to click on the Quick one and it froze. I rebooted and tried it again and the same thing happen. So the third time I left the mouse alone and it ran the Burn one on its own. It made it through 8 loops and I passed them all. During the 9th loop I accidently bumped the mouse and it froze again. I couldn't even use Esc to abort. So I had to shut the comp off and turn it back on. That part took almost 3 hours. Since I'm heading to bed I'll run it again like before. Hopefully it will make it through the whole thing. I'll post again tomorrow morning.

I have tried to do this memtest86 and for some reason it won't work. I'm so frustrated I could cry. But I won't. LOL I downloaded it. When I open it it says 'Enter Target Diskette Drive' When I put the letter in and click Enter the whole black box disappears. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. But what? "NoNoBadDog!" wrote: You definitely have a RAM problem. RAM modules can and do go bad...do a Google search for memtest86, download it and let it diagnose your memory. If it is the RAM, be prepared for a battle with DELL, they are not very friendly with RAM issues... Bobby "Lady In Need" wrote in message news Less than a minute after my last post it did it again. New error message. PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Stop 0x0000004E 0x00000008F 0x0000E043 0x0000E843 0x00000000 Now what?? "Lady In Need" wrote: You're right on the error number. My typo lol It should have been x not c. I'll check out the link you suggested. Thanks for pointing that out. "lvee" wrote: are you sure that's the right stop error number/ Is it maybe 0x0000000A...?

I can't afford the latter. Dell was NO help. Thanks! I also wanted to mention that I've not added/changed or downloaded anything prior to this starting. There's also no rhyme or reason to when it happens. Not doing any 'particular' task. It even happens when I'm not on it. |
