I just ran into one of the strangest computer issues I have ever experienced and I am lost on ideas. I have searched online and found some other people saying they had similar problems but no solutions.
The computer is a toshiba satellite a65-s126. Upon attempting to boot it gets a bsod with
stop: 0x00000050 ntfs.sys. I tried to boot into safe mode and would get the same error.
I noticed that the last file it was attempting to load was atisgkaf.sys (ati driver) each time.
Since I couldn't get anywhere with this I tried booting into BART PE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ if your not familiar with it, very handy tool). When booting into bart pe it nearly finished loading then got a bsod Stop 0x000000E3 RESOURCE_NOT_OWNED?. I found this really strange and attempted booting to a windows xp sp2 install cd. When it got to the select R for recovery consol or enter to install upon hitting any key would bsod again.
Since these were on cds it led me to believe that the memory was bad. So i used a gentoo live cd and ran memtest86 which passed no problems.
I updated the bios to the latest version to see if that would help. (the bios is one of the poorest I have ever used, very few options and no system diagnosis information like cpu temp though it felt relatively cool to the touch for a laptop).
From the linux live cd I was able to also mount the hard drive and everything seemed fine directory wise. Unfortunately I am not as familiar with linux as I would like so don't know of any chkdsk or scandisk type utilities to use from linux.
Any suggestions would be apreciated.
