  • You probably have a corrupt profile, try booting from the windows CD, recovery console, chkdsk c: /F/R then reboot.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • Please set the following so that you can write down the entire message.

    You definately the funny looking number, 00x0008A blah blah

    Right Click My Computer...Properties

    Click Advanced Tab...Settings under "Statup and Recovery"

    Make sure 'Automatically Restart' under "System failure" is NOT ticked (this might need a reboot).

    The next time your machine Blue Screens, it will stay on that Screen until you manually reboot.

    Let me know what the full error message is please.
