I was writing an email yesterday when my computer suddenly shut down and rebooted. I received a black screen with the message "windows did not shut down properly blah blah" and it gave me the choices of safe mode, safe mode with drivers, last known working configuration, and start windows regularly. None of these options work. The computer starts to load and then after a few seconds reboots again. I tried to run the recovery disk, but after about 10 seconds of loading (after it starts accessing files on the D: partition) I get the MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS 0x00000044 (0x857CED6C, 0x00000D60, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I have not installed any new hardware. I have an updated virus scanner and firewall, but i have abused my computer as follows:

a friend spilled beer on the keyboard on new years eve. I immediately flipped the keyboard and let it dry. It was not a lot of liquid and the next day the computer was working fine other than a sticky space bar.

the laptop screen was broken after being hit by accident. I have had it hooked up to a monitor. Although I cant see the error messages, the behavior is the save even if the monitor is not hooked up to the computer

Help! Any ideas?

What is the make and model of the laptop?

It is a Gateway MX6440

Are you using the CD? Are you using the Destructive Method?

Well I reformatted the harddrive partition c: and tried to reboot run recovery from D but received the above error. I reformmated the whole harddrive and tried to boot from the disks, only to receive the same error

I'd suggest contacting Gateway:
