My computer is just shutting off and this message appears
kernel_data_inpage_error
It says it does this to save the computer.
Any ideas?
I have been trying to run Norton and it does this too.

Here my reply to your other post with the same header:
By the looks of looking at your other post which it doesn't have lots of
info for any helper to be able to help and give you a fix!.
You have a Hardware problem or your Hard drive going dead or a RAM
problem!!!!.
Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.
