Alert! Previous attempts at booting this system have failed
One of my machines has an error message flash by very quickly each time I boot it up. It goes by too fast to read the whole thing, but it starts with "Alert! Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint..." The computer is a Dell XPS 8000 and runs Windows 7 64bit.
I'm having no problems with the computer at all. The message goes away and W7 continues to boot up just fine. I'm not sure when the message started because I usually hit the power button in the morning and walk away.
Is this message indicative of a problem or can it be safely ignored if the computer has no other symptoms? I've searched and only found issues where computers won't boot or have other problems along with the message.
Thanks for any help.
