hey, i have a dell laptop and i'm running XP and my computer has gone to an error screen a few times saying "kernel_data_inpage_error" and a bunch of other junk and said it has to be shut down.

this has happened a few times, and actually happened with my last laptop as well. i searched the forum and saw that someone else has actually had the same problem so i did what the admin said to do and download windows debugger and debugwiz, i have my debuglog already so just let me know if i should attach it or what i should do to prevent this from happening and messing up my laptop like it did my old one. thanks.

Post the log.

The KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR code indicates that the paging-file access process failed to find a page of kernel data. This problem has several possible causes. To determine the cause, look at the line that's under the main error message, which provides diagnostic information. The second parameter in this line is the I/O status code, which gives detailed information about the actual cause of the problem. The Table lists common KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR error codes and their meanings. For example, on my computer I received the 0xC000009C error code--STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR--which indicates bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk. To resolve the error, I booted to the Recovery Console (RC) and ran the command

chkdsk c: /r
The Chkdsk command found the bad blocks and fixed them; the machine then rebooted correctly.
