18 hours ago, my PC (laptop, Windows XP, 1.5 years old although I did a complete reinstall about 2 months ago) was working fine, but in the past 5 hours, some crazy sh*t has happened.
I started my PC up, except it wouldn't boot up. I got an error that said Optical Drive not found. I tried again a few times, and finally got it to work by hitting my monitor pretty hard.
The PC is working fine for about 45 minutes, and then I get the blue screen of death. Beginning dump of physical memory appears, and so do some other messages that I don't have time to read. The next thing i know, my PC is turned off.
This has happened about once an hour for the past 5 hours, and half the time, when I try to reboot, I get that same Optical Drive not found error.
On about the 4th reboot, scan disk ran, but didn't give me any sort of analysis afterward.
When I reported the error, a message said that my pc was having trouble reading one of my hard disks, and that the problem should be gone, but obviously it isn't.
Thanks in advance.
