816622 2009-10-03 21:27:00 I have this BSOD (Dell Inspiron 6000) quite frequently. No new hardware or software installed recently. However, I did replaced a faulty HDD 9 months ago, so this should not be the problem and also I've run SeaTools - passed all tests.

Technical Information:

STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x86492278,0x864923EC,0x805C8C88)

Running MemTest now.

816623 2009-10-03 21:35:00 One guy fixed it buy replacing the CMOS battery, it was dead. Is the hdd IDE or SATA?? If its IDE, is it jumpered to master? Speedy Gonzales (78)

It's a IDE and is jumpered to Master.

Any clue as to where to locate the cmos battery for this model? I could see where the RAMs and HDD locations but no signs of the cmos battery.

816626 2009-10-03 22:30:00 Just checked the event viewer and found the following warning:

event ID: 51 Source: Disk Category: None

Description:

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.



Does it give any hints?

816627 2009-10-03 22:42:00 Dont think that'll crash it, unless the paging file is corrupt. What version of windows is it and did you install any service packs? You did reinstall / do a clean install right? Speedy Gonzales (78)

It's XP Home edition SP3 with all the latest updats.

Just backed up all important data and doing a 'clean' install right now. Hopefully this will solve the problem

0x000000F4: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION

One of the many processes or threads crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated .

Both those things together mean your drive has a fault . Back up NOW and RMA it .

816630 2009-10-04 02:29:00 I agree with PCTek. Sounds like the HDD is dying...

Am a bit suprised it passed all the Seatools tests though.

I'm not. The old one works quite well, the new one only seems to pick up screamingly obvious faults.
