Computer won't start up - Bugcode usb driver blue screen

ads2608

Hi

Everytime I start up my PC, a blue screen appears with a stop error code. These error codes seem to vary each time I start up.

On my latest start up I had the message:

bugcode_usb_driver

stop: 0x000000fe 0x00000004, 0x829b80e0, 0x80862658, 0x820163c8

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

It asks for me to go into Safe Mode. If I do this, what am I looking for?

I am using a Dell PC running Windows XP.

Thanks in advance

unplug all usb devices first and try and boot up the PC

Thanks, but there have been no USB devices connected over the past couple of days when I have tried to start the PC.

try safe mode with networking , then go to

www.windowsupdate.com

and see if there are any Express updates

I can't actually get into Safe Mode (with or without networking).

It just takes me to the Blue Screen again.

I have tried starting up again. It now runs a chk dsk (or something similar) and then went to the blue screen but this time the error message is saying:

Page Fault in Non Page Area.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you disable the USB in the bios?

Thanks
