A failing hard drive can cause 0x00011b. Causes include physical damage (impact, overheating), mechanical component wear, bad sectors developing, or electronic failures within the drive. SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data can sometimes provide early warnings of impending hard drive failure.
