Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error

[provenlogic]

Ok guys, here's one even i haven't been able to get a handle on. It's reguarding my laptop, Dell Inspiron 4150, WinXP Pro, P4m 1.4Ghz, 512Mb RAM.

I've had it for quite some time, it's old obviously. I usually keep it laying around in case i want to check my mail or go online without having to turn on my workstation PC. So usually when i'm done i just close the lid and let it go into standby. I've been doing that forever with no problems.

In the last 2 weeks or so, it's started giving me a BSoD whenever i flip open the laptop and it tries to resume from standby. BSoD reads KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, beginning dump of physical memory, etc... etc... (i'll come back with the specific error address when it happens again).

That's not the worst part however. When i turn on the computer again after the BSoD, i get a "WARNING: Primary Hard Drive 0 Failure! No Boot Options available, press F1 to try again or F2 for setup". I'll have to power it down and turn it on again, sometimes 4 or 5 times until it boots normally. This last time it happened i had to remove the laptop battery and leave it unplugged for a few minutes before it would reboot without a HDD0 failure error.

I've looked up the KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR online, but haven't found any reall information as to what to do to prevent it from happening again. I know what exactly the error is, i can read about that until i'm blue in the face, i just can't seem to find any viable solutions anywhere. So any ideas?

Sounds like the hard drive itself may be dying.

As the others have said, KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR is usually a signal of imminant catastrophic hard drive failure. We've had three PC's at work go that way in the last year.

There's nothing to be done for it except swap the HDD out and put a new one in. Sorry.

does this *ONLY* happen when you close the LCD, or maybe use some other power safing/suspend to disk options?

it ONLY happens when i open the lid and the computer tries to resume from suspend. And it doesn't happen every time, it happens randomly, but only when i open the lid to resume from suspend.

I'll come back with the error code next time the error pops up.

ok then it seems like a flawed acpi function/driver to me. it's something where almost no bios is without bugs - look if you find new drivers for your chipset or a bios upgrade from your manufacturer

I just wonder why it popped up so suddenly...

Here is the actual BSoD, i snapped a pic of it with my cell phone (easier than typing it out).

And the subsequent startup message when the computer reboots.

And since a different file is ID'd as the culprit each time, here's another BSoD.
