The DVR has detected a serious problem?!?!?

[RawisTheGameHhH]

I just got home and turned my TV and there is a green screen from my TiVo saying the following

"The DVR has detected a serious problem and is now attempting to fix it.

This will take about three hours.

PLEASE DO NOT UNPLUG OR RESTART THE DVR!

If you have a plasma TV or are concerned about image burn-in, you should turn off you TV for the next three hours.

If, after three hours, the DVR does not restart, please call Customer Support."

does anyone know what is going on???

Stuff happens. Leave it on all night and check it in the morning. Part of the software on the hard drive is corrupt and the operating system is trying to fix it.

Could be your hard drive is failing. It might be able to fix itself. Don't power it off or reboot it.

And try not to post the same thing in multiple forums.

And is there any other device we own about which we can claim that? :D

[cwerdna]

Cool! For future reference, sometimes the error screen is called the GSOD aka Green Screen Of Death.

Hey, my Windows PC tries to fix itself on a regular basis ... it just doesn't succeed that often. :D

I keep getting the Green Screen of Death on my Tivo RS-TX20 Toshiba DVR. It gets to the GSOD and then reboots about a minute later and goes back to GSOD. Its been doing this for 24 hours, what do I need to do here?

Thanks for all the help you can provide..

[gtaylor]

I get to the "Just a few minutes more" screen and then back to the GSOD this evening.

Help!

Both bluibri and gtaylor-

I'd suggest you consider a new hard drive.
