HP Pavilion dv6 Vista Recovery - Physical memory dump w/ error code 0x000000F4 (and others)

Hello Everyone, 
This is my first time posting in the forums so I hope that I have chosen the appropriate area and will do my best to be brief but informative. 
Computer: HP Pavilion dv6000
Operating System: Windows Vista.
For the past 6-8 months it has been unable to perform Windows Update citing that the most likely reason was a virus. I have tried numerous trouble shooting options when it was recommended that I perform a chkdsk. After initiating a chkdsk in Command Prompt, my computer restarted and had a black screen with no cursor. After watching this for 2 hours and realizing that none of the usual chkdsk progress or text was coming up I made the decision to force shut down.
When I rebooted, I was told to enter system recovery which I did and completed a system recovery from the hard drive. After the system recovery finished and the laptop restarted, I experience a Blue Screen of Death due to a physical memory dump. The error codes are STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8006671040, 0xFFFFFA8006671278, 0xFFFFF80001D01DA0). 
I am not able to boot in safe mode. In the start up repair, I am able to enter command prompt from which I started chkdsk again. Both chkdsk f/ and chkdsk r/ passed with no errors. Additionally, the computer passed both UEFI Hard Drive and Memory tests. I have system recovery CDs for the computer but they fail at 78% completion.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require anymore information. I would appreciate any and all advice!
Thank you!
This question was solved.

  • Physical memory dump error on my A60-155

    I have got a Satellite A60 and recently when just turning on the computer after a week period of not using it, it gave a 'physical memory dump' and then asked if I want to start in safe mode or last known working settings or start windows normally. None of these options worked, all the computer did was dumping its memory. So I tried the recovery disc, it loaded all the required things but yet again it did a memory dump on load up.
    So I formatted the laptop and tried a newer copy of windows XP on it (Both home and Professional) doing this did work (By that I mean it installed) and windows loaded as it should, I loaded the sound drivers and all the rest of the needed drivers, restarting the computer every time I installed a new device but when it came to the 'ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 IGP' driver as soon as it restarted it dumped the memory.
    As soon as the ATI driver is installed the system will not load, but the new windows I have installed does let me start on last worked settings (This removes the graphics driver) So I went onto this Toshiba website and got the driver from here seeing as ATI doesn't provide the drivers for its merchandise, and yet again it resulted in the system not loading. I need to have the graphics working because without it I cant watch films or use my CAD software I need it working.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    Hello
    Please try to use these settings shown on this page http://www.barrett.net/xpmemorydump.html .
    By the way the graphic card should be installed at the beginning. After OS installation first that should be installed is the chipset driver and than graphic card driver. After that you can continue with all other drivers.

  • IPOD causes "Blue Screen of Death" with physical memory dump

    Plugged in the IPOD into USB port on computer. It shows "found USB device" and then 5-10 seconds later I get the blue screen of death and a notification that there is a driver error and a physical memory dump as occurred.
    Spent two hours with Apple people and Dell people this morning and nothing. I have updated drivers, flashed my bios, uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Running Firefox causes a physical memory dump.

    Every time I try to run the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 I get a BSOD that shows a physical memory dump with messages like "bad_pool_header" or "system_service_exception." This happens even if I run Firefox in safe mode with all plugins disabled. I don't remember when I last updated Firefox, but I was not having this problem until today. I put my computer to sleep at night, and when I woke up this morning my internet connection was not available, so I had to reset my cable modem. After I regained my connection I found that Firefox was not working. Internet Explorer works fine. (Note that in System Details the listed version of Firefox is not the one I was running - I am currently on a different computer, but I was running the latest version of Firefox when I was having issues.)

    addendum: the problem mentioned above is not solved by the latest update, and the problem not only occurs when using the scrollbar but on various occasions and exclusively when using Firefox. With the use of other applications (including Windows Internet explorer) the memoryproblem does not occur (upto now that is)

    Hello Tajamal, 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the webcam isn't working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would have to suggest returning to Windows 8 since there are no 8.1 drivers, as indicated here: HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • My laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 1319TX (2 yrs old),it is getting heated up and getting strucked up.

    My laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 1319TX (2 yrs old),it is getting heated up and getting stucked up.can any one help ...
    O.S. Installed :Windows 7 vista
    No upgradtion of software or no upgradation of BIOS or no upgradation of hardware elements since i bought .

    After 2-3 years laptops may need to have the cooling fan and heatsink area cleaned out and have new cooling paste applied on the processor. I just did this on my own laptop which will be 3 years old in September. It is a fairly advanced procedure. We can provide material that will tell you how to do it, but more likely you need to find a local computer shop to perform the task. Expect to pay $50-100.

  • HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e

    I bought a nice Solid State drive.  Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade my system to new hard drive.  It fails every time with HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e.  This is after removing everything...  graphics card, ram, cd drive...  nothing is plugged in except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
    Windows 8 strikes again.  Does anyone have any suggestions about how to actually use the recovery disks to reinstall windows 8 onto a new solid state drive.  I hate this computer and wish I would have never bought it actually.  It's been nothing but crap from day one.

    It's the HP 500-023w desktop.  I ended up just buying a Winodws 8.1 OEM disk and installing that on the SSD.  The recovery tool is a bit useless.  Reading through various forum posts it seems I would have ended up spending hours trying to figure it out or else buying the recovery disks from HP.  Just paying $89 for an OEM disk is a good deal by comparison since at the very least the computer has no bloatware on it now.
    What a hugely unnecessary hassle really.  Now if only I could get this heap of junk to boot with a PCI-e graphics card installed I might actually be able to use it with two monitors.  Good grief.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore

    My Iphone 3GS stuck in recovery mode error code 40 and would not restore.I was with AT & T.Please help!

    Hi there...
    Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
    To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
    1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
    2-Restart your Windows.
    If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
    1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
    notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
    2- look for gs.apple.com
    3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
    4- Save the file and try restoring again.
    Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
             put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
    I hope this helps. It did for me

  • HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

    I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
    It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
    I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists. 
    Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
    Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message: 
    "Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
    With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
    Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
    I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

    I understand the problem.  HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1030 recovery

    I bought a recovery disc set 1 and 2 for a HP Pavilion dv6-1030us. After recovery, my windows vista keeps asking me to enter the product code and a message that says that my copy of windows is not genuine.

    The recovery set checks the PC for various hardware that was supposed to be part of that model.  If it finds something different than the preassigned configuration, it will not finish.  If the PC is really a dv6-1030us, you could use the product key from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
