Is my hard drive failing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

In my system information, it says my "Available Memory" is 24.10%. Isn't
that low? What can be done about that. I have been getting a Blue Screen,
Fatal Error, Memory Dump message.
I contacted Dell, and they said my Hard Drive and Memory is failing. But,
how do they really know? What do I need to do?

Thanks!

1. "Available memory" refers to RAM, not your hard disk.
2. There is no 'high' or 'low' percentage for available memory; it is what
it is.
3. For assistance with Stop ("blue screen") errors, post the title of the
error (LOOKS_LIKE_THIS) and the error code (starts with 0x000...).
4. It may be that the Dell techinal rep misinterpreted your situation, since
you do not seem to have a great deal of understanding of computers. Nothing
wrong with that - that's why we're here.
