I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit version, on my PC.  It lasted less than 24 hours before it started giving me errors.  Now, I'm getting a 0xC00000E9 error.  Something about a hardware error.  But would it tell me what hardware?  no.  Can I get to the event log?  no.  How am I supposed to diagnose anything it I have prevented from seeing what's wrong???

A quick search tells me it's an i/o error. Since it worked at one point and then stopped, I'm thinking it's a driver update that broke things. Do you have any external drives attached? If so, I'd try taking them off and trying to boot then.

 

Also, have you tried booting to the DVD and using the Startup Recovery?
