sound like either hardware damage.. or a virus infection

have you tried pressing F8 at startup and selecting use my last settings that worked in the boot menu

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damageto your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen apears agian follow these steps:

CHeck for virues on your computer. Remove any newly installed hardrives or hard drive controllers. Check your hardrive to make sure it is properlyconfigured and terminated.
Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:

I had this kind of error a while back..
I went into safe mode though and uninstalled a program that made it go weird.
What did you do before it started comnig up that error.
What did you download or change?

the blue screen appears before thw windows loading screen apears

i cant even go into safe mode

i was running dsk cleanup at the time...and was downloading some videos..and the blue screen came up

Okay please don't triple post i suggest you contact your dealer as you may have corrupted windows

virus...

sorry mate... you downloaded a virus... windows is Hosed

unless,
put your XP disk in, and do a repair install when it asks if you wannt Run a repair install

note that its not the repair console you want.. continue as you would normallydo for a fresh install and it will detect windows already on there and ask if you wanna run a repair install

do the repair install

if this don't fix it... then... bubi windows

omg...i have the windwos xp cd-rom...i put it in..and it cant even detect it

Okay, turn it off and put the disk in... turn in back on with the disk already inserted and it should ask you do you wish to boot from the cd

mine's dosent say anythin..just the normal startup

Try getting into the BIOS setup (that's F1 or DEL button, I think).

Then go and change the boot order.
Put CD-ROM first

how do u change the boot order?

its normally in advanced or system settings in the bios
