Need a new computer? Get one cheap on Amazon http://astore.amazon.com/computers0ace-20

UPDATE: I posted a solution to this on my blog: http://dell-problems.blogspot.com

Become a Facebook fan of "Dell Computer Problems" at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dell-Computer-Problems/299193560133

The facts:
Manufacture: Dell Computer Corporation
Computer: Dell Precision WorkStation 360
Model: DHM (or WHM or DHS, or WHL)
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (version 5.1.2600)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz
Processor speed: 2.73 GHz
RAM: 1024 MB

The problem:
I was watching a DVD and decided to shut it down (with the DVD still playing). The normal way of shutting it down was taking too long, so I pushed the manual shut off button on the tower and it turned off instantly. From this point on, it has been unable to fully start up the blue screen of death always appears when windows is loading. The Stop error reads:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
If this is the first time youve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x867CDC08, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

A side note @ 0:07
One of the screens you see come up has to do with my battery having low voltage. See pictures at http://dell-problems.blogspot.com/2009/05/dell-computer-low-battery-voltage.html It says, Alert! System battery voltage is low. Strike the F1 Key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility. If anyone has any ideas about how to get rid of this also, that would be great!

I WOULD BE GREATFUL FOR ANY ADVICE, TIPS, OR TRICKS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU!

  • In responce to your battery question, at a wild guess, it might be your lithium button battery thats low, does your system clock ever lose time? I had this problem, its just the small lithium battery, just a bit bigger than a watch battery, they are easy to replace. It could be something completely different i'm not sure.

  • I think you're probably right. I have considered getting a new battery, but it does not seem to be affecting my performance, so I've left it so far.

    Thanx for commenting!
