We have got the error as listed below at the time of installation of windows 7 in Dell 520 Laptop. We have diagnose the memory too but couldn’t find any error in that. Please check what could be the issue and if you have faced the same issue there.

Please provide some solution for PM too that was communicated in a separate mail to you.

Points to RAM I reckon. Boot from the CD but into the repair mode and run windows memory diags.
