Startup error Uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder

Question

Does any one know how to fix this error? I have a Dell note and it is the second time this error shows up.

Solution

You need to run a manual fsck (file system check). Something in your file system isn't right.

1. boot the computer
2. choose Advanced Options from the GRUB boot menu
3. choose recovery mode
4. choose root access
5. enter your password
6. type sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1
7. run #6 more than once if there are errors
8. type reboot

If the corrupted system won't even let you do that, then:

1. boot the Ubuntu Live DVD in "Try Ubuntu" mode
2. open terminal from the Unity dash
3. in terminal, type sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1
4. run #3 more than once if there are errors

Thank you very much for your answer! But it didn't work. When I choose the recovery mode, the same screen appears with the built-in commands. :( Any recomendation? Best regards!

Then you'll have to boot to the Ubuntu Live DVD and run fsck from there. Open a terminal, and type "sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1". If it shows errors, run it more than once. Let me know. Cheers, Al

@AbelTom please start a new question and I'll try and help you. Please include any error messages that you're receiving during boot, or during fsck.
