Dreaded blue screen help!

Money_Mad_3

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 - windows XP when turned on windows won't load it takes me to the dreaded blue screen message;
STOP OX000000ED (OX84F3A030) OXC0000006

I have tried to start in safe mode, normally, and with commands.

Tried going to set up don't really know what to change. Also tried to boot with windows CD, system not reading the CD. Keeps taking me to the blue screeen with message.

Any help greatly appreciated thanks

Go into bios and change the boot order so that it boots from the cd first

If it still fails then you have a hardware problem

Thankyou for your help, Windows has now booted from the CD. Just a low disk space message keeps coming up I have put a thread out for this so I shall read through. But once again thanks for your help.:j

"Those of us using 2004′s laptop for 2010′s storage demands may find themselves in a much stickier situation. I recently came across a client whose computer was taking 10 or more minutes to boot, his files had lost their familiar icons associating them to specific programs, MS Office worked intermittently and took several minutes to load. Web Browsers would function intermittently, and he had reported getting a few Blue Screens of Death in the preceding week.
The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1100 with Windows XP Home; still perfectly usable for music, email, and web-surfing by most people’s standards, as long as it has all of its updates and enough memory. It had a 35 GB hard disk that was completely full.
Most programs, including the operating system are constantly reading from and writing to the hard disk. Windows also generates a massive pagefile, which is basically scratch space to augment physical memory. The pagefile grows and shrinks constantly depending on how much of it Windows needs for whatever it is doing.
The ailments I mentioned above, plus a whole host of others can occur when your disk runs completely out of space. Another side effect is massive fragmentation, as the drive no longer has massive areas of free space to write files to. Instead, it may have hundreds of thousands of little blank spaces, so it may chop your mp3 , or pagefile, or anything else really, into a thousand little pieces of data (fragments) and spread them throughout the drive. This can make a small file take a very long time to open, and degrades system performance even more."

Sound familiar ?

Go to your other thread as that is the best place for replies to your problem, a full hard drive. If you do nothing it will get even worse and eventually stop working, well, sooner rather than later.
For now turn off system restore in order to save space start/control panel/system restore
Try a search for mp3(music files) start/search.... and see where most of them are located - find the folder location and see what size it is -let us know if not sure -but then delete it .
This prog is only half a MB -try and download it and run it, it shows a graph what size things are on your lappy and you can see at a glance what is filling up your h/drive.
