BSD - Blue Screen of Death
Our Dell Inspiron 600M laptop just croaked.
BSD with the following message:
ntfs.sys Address F84554E6 base at F8404000
I managed to boot to a diagnostic screen and ran the system diagnostics which hung with the following error code: 0F00:133D (which apparently has to do with the system memory bus.
None of this shows up on the Dell Support website. That gives me a Diagnostic Tree to follow which comes down to "Prepare to Reinstall Windows".
So there you have it. Instead of listening to a Gaither DVD (Jerusalem) and posting on the Swap I got to chase computer problems tonight. The Windows Reinstall can wait for some night other than Sabbath.

Yikes! Believe it or not my work 600m also BSoD'd twice on me this week! I ran a utility called Spinrite and found out that my hard-drive was overheating, so I put my deskfan on it and it was able to boot. I also ran the Dell diagnostic CD and it ran both the express test suite and extended test suites and everything checked out FINE! grrr! I feel like chicken little, but thankfully my sysadmins took me seriously. I've ghosted an image of my HD in case my machine does kack this coming week.
