Alienware Referenced Memory Error and Cannot open any applications
I had this particular problem start just yesterday. I logged on my computer and proceeded to start a game. I played the game for about an hour and a half, then the game crashed. I figured it was no problem, then opened up SeaMonkey to check my e-mail. I typed in the website I wanted to go to, but after loading about halfway SeaMonkey closed on me. I got the following error:
The instruction at 0x0000000713236DA referenced memory at 0x0000000072067922. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0x000000e.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
After this happened I tied to open Internet Explorer and something along the same lines came up. I tried to open some other programs on my computer, and they would not open. I then shut my computer off and went to bed for the night.
The same things happened today...I logged on my computer, played a game, then it crashed, just like the day before.
I'm not sure if this is relevant to the problem, but I'll say it anyways. A few months ago I discovered that my hard drive was imminent for failure, as it failed its extended smart self test.

One thing I forgot to mention was another error I occasionally get when I try to boot up my computer...here it is.

Yes, this is "by design" when it can't find a hard-drive (or HDD doesn't spin-up in time).
With this symptom and the fact that you got this message:
" I discovered that my hard drive was imminent for failure, as it failed its extended smart self test."
I would try a new HDD and/or make sure it's connected inside properly. If you like speed over space ... maybe try a SSD.

Ok, thanks for the information. I will check the connection inside as soon as I can and get back to you on that.
