I have recently started having this problem on my Dell computer running WIN
XP SP2. The problem is as follows:
I get bored and decide to leave my computer, so I put it into sleep mode via
the sleep button on my keyboard (looks like a crescent moon). I go get
lunch, watch TV, whatever, and decide to come back and use my computer. I
press a key on the keyboard or disturb my laser mouse, which causes the hard
drives to spin up (I hear whirling of drives and the fans kick back on).
Then it sits for a moment until I get the BSOD
Following the BSOD about inpage_data_error or something (I misplaced the
exact stop error), I power down, power up, and find that XP no longer
recognizes my primary (drive 0) or secondary (drive 1) hard drives, so my
computer is a paper-weight. What could cause this problem?
Troubleshooting I've done: Used memtest86 to ensure my memory is working
(it works). Ran mother board diagnostic (no problem). Only thing I couldn't
do is run the drive diagnostics off Ultimate Boot CD for my primary drive.
Specs: Intel 2.8gHz H/T CPU, 1GB DDR, Drive 1 - ST3120023A (Seagate), Drive
2 - WDC WD2000JB-00EV0 (Western Digital).
