Then i was taken to screen where u select safe mode and last good configuration options as soon as select one of them and hit enter PC restarts automatically. I tried to re-install the OS but was in-vein, when i am putting in the bootable XP CD in all the drivers are getting loaded once they are loaded when i am on Set up is installing windows screen i get a blue screen of death.

With error saying ( 0*0000000000 something).
Can someone advice me what could be the problem.

FYI.......i had installed ESET smart security package 2 days before.

Quick replys expected.

Well, Just the Hex Number or any DLL/SYS file is mentioned?

Usually, BSODs have a heading.. like for instance, 'IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL', etc.

Can you post that?

I suspect your RAM has gone bad. Try getting a replacement. (Or download Memtest86+ and Test it)

yup, the "Hex" number... "casting a hex "

remove all external devices attach like printer, pendrive and all.Also remove graphics card if you have any.Than try to install XP.

If it all fails..than I am scare you hard disk is corrupted.Try to install on another hard disk..and I am sure you will be able to install XP.

Also, care:
1) Have you installed any new hardware in your system.
2) Do fresh installation, avoid repair.
3) Have you updated driver of any new hardware.

Thanxs guys for your quick reply,

As far as the RAM and Hard disk goes i have tried to replcae both of them i have put in my friends hard disk(Empty) and his rab also 512 MB both are working fine for his PC. The problem is still there. I am not to sure about the hex number, but yestarday i have got this error Page fault in Non paged area.

Maybe your RAM has gone faulty.Have a look in the event viewer.[Control panel>Administrative tools>Event Viewer] and check for any red icons there.

If you didn't disable windows minidump, Can you upload your Dump file from C:\WINDOWS\ Minidump\Mini***.dmp

I think its might be ur SMPS problem.Can u tell its brand,wattage & other specifications like current under +12v rail...If u can check it with another good SMPS.Its my 1st option.

or u can try this to make ur Bios to default values :

Try to reset ur Bios jumper,its Close to CMOS battery.1st take the battery out & remove the jumper & install it in nearby 2 pins.Means in both cases(set/normal & reset) the middle pin is common.Place it there in reset position.put the battery.Make ur pc ON go to ur Bios(if u be able) by pressing Del key.Make Bios setting Default.save & exit.Now set ur jumper to normal position & Make ur pc ON.it may help u..

& reply wht u get..
