I checked the hard disk for errors using CHKDSK, to make sure there was nothing wrong with the OS. It passed. Next, I ran a system diagnostic to check hardware, (memory, Hard-disk, etc.), and it checked out OK. I didn't reset the BIOS or remove the CMOS battery as they checked out earlier with the diagnostic test. The problem? I found that the data cable, (it was a SATA hard-disk), was either loose or faulty. Having replaced it and made sure it was connected firmly and squarely (sometimes, they can work a little loose and be pulled sideways), everything worked fine.

It restarts a few times with this error and then finally runs. My laptop is still under warranty only 30 days left, and I'm out of the country. Any suggestions? Oh, by the way, this started happening suddenly one day when I started the system. No new programs or hardware installed.

Further info: The system runs after I'm in windows for about 3 minutes, then out of nowhere, with no open programs, it will crash. Safe mode seems to be fine, but many features to find the problem are disabled and I can't find anything in the system logs. The dump files it says the data went to during the crash are missing.
