    I bought a Samsung 320 GB hard drive to replace my smaller 100 GB Seagate hard drive.

    The problem is a blue screen with this error:

    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    Stop 0x000000F4 (0x00000003 Ox890DB020 0x890DB194 0x805D13B6)
    A memory dump as begun.

    And then the laptop reboots. This occurs randomly.

    I used a clean install by using the recovery discs from the HP dv9000.

    Specs: Hp dv9000, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP Media Center -Nvideo 6150 integrated graphics.

    So far, I have upgraded the BIOS but does not solve the problem.

    Does anyone know what is happening? For some reason, the new hard drive is not compatible with my laptop. I put back my old hard drive and it works perfectly. Thanks for any help.

    hi

    I had a similar problem like this when I changed HD on a desktop a long time back. I was changing to Seagate 250GB from a Samsung 80GB and I was facing similar problems.

    I later on found that I have to prepare the hard disk for first use and downloaded a bootable CD file from Seagate, burnt it on a cd, booted from it and used it to prepare my HD. There was an option in the program asking me the OS I will be installing and if my OS's support drives larger than 137 GB's. So there must be a solution to your problem somewhere in the Samsung website. IF they have some HD utilities, download them and check. I will also check for them in the meanwhile...

    Thanks for your response. The problem of the 137 GB limit only applied to older computers 4 to 5 yrs ago. All new computers in the last few years no longer face the barrier of 137 GB and the BIOS can handle large drives. Plus Windows SP1 and SP2 have eliminated the problem. My laptop is only 1 1/2 year old.

    Could the recovery discs be damaged? If you can get ahold of a plain WinXP install disc, try installing off that and see if it works. You could make a HP WinXP SP3 install disc if you like.

    It's possible that your new HD is bad but I'd bet on the install discs. For the sake of being thorough, test your memory with MemTest86+.

    do a surface scan of the hard drive.. and check it for possible errors.
    or you can do a full format, not the quick format because it doesn't check for bad sectors.

    need to make sure your new shinny drive is really stable.....
