Computer Won’t Boot - Blue Screen STOP Error 0×000000F4

I had a Lenovo ThinkPad x60s that would not boot intermittently.  I would also occasionally receive the following blue screen STOP error:  0X000000F4 0X00000003 0X8A085DA0

The problem ended up being the SATA ports motherboard (or planar board as Lenovo calls is), so they had to replace the entire board.  Check your SATA connectors and SATA interfaces.  It could be the cables, or the interface on the motherboard or the drive.
