Akkh!! What does this error mean??

Just this past weekend, two very disturbing things have happened on my brand new (6 months old) Dell 9300.

1) This error has popped up several times:


2) I've gotten a blue screen of death that told me I needed to restart my computer. I forget the exact language on the blue screen, but it was ominous sounding: something like "hard drive memory failure. Data has been lost." or something like that.

Anyway, I immediately backed up all important documents, but it appears that these errors continue to pop up...they seem of the serious variety...i.e. some deep-rooted hardward problems that I'm not sure a simple reinstall of Windows XP Recovery could fix...

Any ideas?
