The system has started to crash starting with FF 3.07 - what arethese event errors?

[rock]

Hi,

In the last 2 days with no new programs or hardware being installed my
XP PRO 2 has crashed.

Every time is has been whilst I have been using FF 3.07. I get a
Mozilla Message about the crash and to either Quit or Restart FF.

When I restart the system goes black and reboots. When I touch Quit, FF
goes but I can resume with XP.

I checked the Event Viewer and didn't find anything to do with FF but
found some of these.

Maybe they tell a story.. They were not in this order..

I am also posting this with Mozilla.

Thanks

Hi Rock,
You either have the hDD going bad and I hope you backed up your data. You
need to run chkdsk /r or this command from the run command box:
sfc /scannow

Try to eliminate hardware by starting the machine with the basic devices by
performing clean Boot.

Hey, thanks. I'll give all that a go and hopefully it is not the drive
itself. Yes I do auto backups every night with SyncBackPro so have
covered. It is just a pain when they do go.

I have all my drives in trays except C: with XP, so in a way, hopefully
it may be the tray itself. I have had them a while so will also try a
new one to see what goes, if the disc turns out to be right.

I also use CC every day for the registry, Adware for the leaches and
Eset for the viruses. So I am pretty careful, after so many problems
over the last 20 years. I'll give those others a go as well, can't be
too careful.
