I have a new desktop, less than a year old. Today I was in the middle of
my work day and the computer just froze. It has done that from time to
time. I could not do a normal reboot so I had to do a hard boot. At
first it looked like it was able to read the Windows files but then it
just went to a black screen with a cursor and hung on that until I did
another hard reboot. I was able to get into safe mode but then it just
gave me a new set of error messages. I tried to go to a previous restore
date but I was unable to do that either. My computer gets very hot at
times and it can be loud. Like a loud fan but I think that is actually
the hard drive. I don't have the warranty on it. If I need to get a new
hard drive, fine, I just would like to know what is happening so I don't
waste any more time trying to fix something that is toast.


unmountable_boot_volume

This is the last error message I rec'd.

stop:0x000000ED (0x83c72a48, 0xc0000010, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Any help you can give me is much appreciated. Thanks,
Lucky

No need to post this again. You got an excellent answer from Dominic Payer
in your first thread.
