Stop 0x000000E0 param: 0x00000001, 0x80000003, 0x00008080, 0x80e92000

Hello.

Ok. I have the job of fixing an ibm thinkpad 600e model 5A0 and have a weird
problem.

I was running xp quite successfully albeit slowly without any issues until I
turned it on and now I am getting a stop error. Stop: 0x000000E0 param:
0x00000001, 0x80000003, 0x00008080, 0x80e92000
I am a bit techy and have the job of fixing it I know that the stop error
error 0x000000E0 refers to the ACPI bios. However it works in safe mode and
other os and indeed xp until recently. The bios version is : INET24WW,
05/24/1999 I know this could be updated but I hate the idea of updating the
bios (in case it goes wrong) and it worked before.
However, When running a test on the system board using the bios it reports
an error:

DEV 001 ERR 91 FRU 3610

I am not too sure what these errors refer too but believe it's something to
do with the battery. Besides, if there was an hardware error inside the bios
wouldn't it also fail in safemode? Another sceptical moment!

Of course, I have tried running msconfig and disabling all startup items and
have disabled all options in win.ini, boot.ini etc. I have managed to do
this from safe mode. I cant run sfc /scannow cos its in safemode or system
restore as it generates an error, indeed getting into the event logs results
in an error so I have the stop errors to work from.

The people who owned this machine also has a lot of documentation on here.
There is no built in nic card and I cant install anything else until I sort
out the other stuff. The only real option I could do is use a ubuntu live cd
and hope I can mount it and copy stuff over!!!!!! So, if anyone can provide
a solution that does not require reinstalling, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Cheers
John

Seeing as you have already diagnosed that it is a hardware problem, I don't
understand why you think it is related to the .NET Freamework.

 

[John Swan]

Well, no I haven't. If it was a hardware problem it should happen in safe
mode or should it???
Where on earth have you getting the .net framework from? Did you read the
post?
Besides, I thought someone else might of had a similar problem an could have
been able to spread some light.

Just for a laugh:

I think that since you posted on the .NET NGs, then you have reason to
believe its related to .NET... Anyway, I doubt people that write .NET code
also debug hardware (ie, it could be a driver problem). I'd venture to say
most of us either re-install everything, or just get a new machine...

Sorry people. Sorry Stephany.

I thought I would save myself some time by sending this post to multiple
groups.
For some beknown and silly reason I have included a .net one.

Anyway.
Thanks for the reply. Again. Sorry Steph.
