Over the past 2 weeks, there have been a few times when I shut down that I get a DOS-type window, stating something like" Stop 0x0000008E (Xc0000005 0x805B0405 0xF0486C7C 0X00000000) BIOS update needed. I do a hard reboot, then get a message saying that Windows recovered from a serious error. Error Signature: 10000008e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 805B0405 BCP3: F0486C7C BCP4: 00000000 OsVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 256_1. The comp works fine after showing this. I'm worried that my HD is going to crash. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated-Thanks

The DOS-type error also says "Physical memory dump complete" on the bottom....

It says "BIOS Update Needed"...I suggest you flash your BIOS. Dell makes doing this very easy...just go to http://support.dell.com and click on Drives and Downloads, then put in your service tag and select your OS. Click on Flash BIOS Updates and download the file and run it to upgrade your BIOS to the latest version.

I agree with user Yoi_55, just ensure you have a continuous stable power supply when flashing your bios.
Also you can input that error message on microsofts support site and get further info on that particular error.
