Blue Screen (0x000000F4)

I am getting frequent Blue screens on my Inspirron 6000 running on Windows XP Media Centre SP 2.
The Message is
STOP:0x000000F4 (0x00000003,0x86432DA0,86432F14,0x805C749A)

After I get the blue screen & I restart, Hard Disk is not detected, but if I reboot after 10-15 minutes Hard Disk is detected and computer boots properly.
When I run Diagnosrics immediately after blue screen ,I some time see a messge of DST Faliure what does that mean ?
This message does not come if I run Diagnostics after 10 -15 minutes or so.

I also ran comprehensive Dell Diagnostics on Hard Drive and it passd the test

    Not sure is this is exactly your problem but its the closest knowledge base article i could find with your stop error. This article also says it has to do with your hard drive configuration so that may be why your hard drive stops working for a while after the stop error.

    Hi

    I would email Dell to help you with the problem.
