Ooh, nice, you've got hardware problems. When I got similar, but not quite the same, errors it was because my power supply was too weak to handle all the stuff in the machine (Compaq is too cheap -- only 110W). It could be that your harddrive is failing and you should backup everything you might want to keep and look for a new one. HTH, -D
