BLUE SCREEN: Hardware failure

Hello, so this has been occurring for some time now, once every 2 months or so. It usually occurs when I am in the middle of a task and suddenly, blue screen would appear with error msg: Hardware failure. Then I would have to manually restart computer. After restart, everything seems okay. But, I do keep getting these errors sporadically. Please advise.

Many thanks!!

Hi, here is the exact blue screen error message: HARDWARE MALFUNCTION. NMI:Parity Check/Memory Parity

In addition, I sometimes get another error message for the blue screen "PHYSICAL DUMPING...(of memory?)"

I wanted to say thank you once more for helping me get rid of the viruses/malware/junk. Saved me a lot of trouble!!

Since I'm bothering you again , my CD/DVD ROM drive no longer works; it does not play my dvds or cds anymore. I hear the disc spinning inside but nothing happens. I look in MY COMPUTER and does not seem to recognize that a disc is in the CD/DVD drive. Any indications as to what's going on?

Hi

This seems like a RAM issue. A good cleaning of the modules the RAM are installed in to, might help.

A couple of questions are necessary before you should do that...

You have a laptop, correct?

If so, look on the bottom of your laptop, and tell me if you see a 7x5 inch rectangle cover (with a bunch of screws), that is labeled C/M

Please download the following fix and save it to your Desktop:

Double-click on it to run. When done, please restart your computer, and test the CD drive out. Please tell me if that worked.

Yup, have a Dell Inspiron. Bottom of laptop does have the label C/M

I dl the CD ROM fix and restarted the computer but CD/DVD ROM cannot read the dvd.

I recommend to have the RAM tested at a local computer repair shop.
