| 801253 | 2009-08-15 04:54:00 | I have a HP Pavilion a1350a Media Centre PC which will boot to the loading windows screen then repeat after flashing an error message. Stop: 0x000000 ED (0x8672c 590, 0xC 0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) |

| 801254 | 2009-08-15 04:58:00 | Other than the STOP error code does it have something such as UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME or something similar? Do you have an XP CD handy? |

| 801255 | 2009-08-15 05:22:00 | I personally havent seen the error, it was writen down by someone else when it stayed on the screen a bit longer. Now just flashes very briefly now before rebooting. Aparently it has done this before but after a couple of reboots would come right. Yes I have a XP CD at hand, but don't want to go down that road before saving data from the Hard Drive. Just thought someone may have come across this & could point me in the right direction. |

Just thought someone may have come across this & could point me in the right direction. Have a look at the link in Speedy's post. If that is the problem, then just boot from your XP disk and do a chkdsk. This is a common error that is easily fixable. Have you disabled automatic restart? Blam |

| 801258 | 2009-08-15 06:07:00 | Thanks guys. I'm just backing up some of the data before I do that. Is it more likely to be that than a failing PSU? Is there any way I can freeze that error message to get a better look at it? |

| 801259 | 2009-08-15 06:21:00 | Tap F8. Select "Disable Automatic Restart on Boot Failure" | Blam (54) | ||
| 801260 | 2009-08-15 08:49:00 | Great, I spent 2 hrs taking ownership of the personal data so I could save it. Put the Hard Drive back in, hit the go button, disabled auto restart but instead of a bsod it did a scandisc, found & fixed heaps of errors & then booted up. At this stage I'm not sure if the problem is fixed or not. I'll do a few more cold boots & see how it goes. |

| 801262 | 2009-08-16 03:29:00 | Sounds like a plan. Created a new admin user profile as the other one is a bit dodgy. Just going through & tidying up now. Seems to be going ok. |
