I can't reboot my laptop. (0x000000f4 error)

When I try to restart my laptop I get this blue screen with the following error message:

STOP: 0X000000F4 (0 X 00000003, 0X8609D408, 0X8609D554, 0X81E35650)

I can't seem to start little matter what I do. I tried all the security modes, reconnecting the cords, and nothing works.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

If a PC remove all power to the system:

Check and reinstall the cards, memory and actually delete and replace - cables (at both ends) are not
just tight. Memory could be the problem, so if you have more than 1 stick swap them in and out of
see if the problem follows a stick or try the new memory.

BCCode: F4 0x000000F4

Check and reinstall the cards memory and cables (at both ends where possible) actually remove and
replace - do not just tight. On a laptop computer on all you can do is reinstall the memory and possibly check
the contacts/connection to the hard drive. Memory could be the problem, so if you have more than 1
stick swap them in and out to see if the problem follows a stick or try the new memory. Antivirus/anti-
spyware/security programs have been known to cause or have a role in this matter.

More general patch updates day and low level chipset BIOS drivers and other software to control.
Also check the wiring on the hard drive.

Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.
http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Vista/vista_event_viewer.htm

MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard event viewer
Windows. TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a time rather
of the entire file.

Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
error information such as codes of STOP and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

As examples:

BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87BC9510
BCP2: 8C013D80
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002

or in this format:

Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information

Often drivers up-to-date will help, usually video, sound, network card (NIC), WiFi, part 3

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
