[Updated Repost] Hardware malfunction

[Patricia]

Note: I posted a little over a week ago (11/26) about an error message I had
been receiving (Subject: Hardware Malfunction Parity Memory Failure)

Hello again. I shut down my computer earlier, only it didn't turn off.
Instead, I got the same blue screen and parity error. Here is the exact
message:

***Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error

***The system has halted***

I've yet to try any suggestions offered here, only because I'm not familiar
with laptops and related components and I feel like it is a much too fragile
system to experiment on. If the above message indicates any other useful
information that anyone can share, please do so. I'd like as much information
as possible before taking it in for repair. Thanks again.

I should also mention that I've had no other problems after receiving this
message and my laptop has had no other major issues - hardware or otherwise
(besides the fact that it takes 3 or 4 restarts for my sound to work).

Follow the instructions the message gave you:

"Call your hardware vendor for support"

It's a hardware malfunction that has nothing to do with Windows.
