Hello,
I have a problem with my laptop. I am a broke college student so I'm really trying to avoid taking it in and paying to have it fixed.
Laptop: HP Pavilion m6
OS: Windows 7
I play The Sims 3 and a couple other games on here when I can find the time. When I play The Sims 3, the past few times, I have gotten a blue screen that has the following message:
"A problem has been detected and windows has neen shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memoryoptions such as cachingor shadowing. If you need to ise safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:

Once this message happened the first time, I restarted it and when it turned back on, it proceeded to tell me that "Boot device not found" and to "install and operatnig system"
I restarted it a couple times and it came back on. This is what continues to happen.
I don't know what to do, I have tried a few things that I knew how to do.
I thought about uninstalling all of my sims games because that seems to be what is causing it.
I am a quick learner but I'm in nursing school so I don't know a ton about them. I can usually solve whatever problems I am havin but I am stuck on this one. Help please?
