    Try pressing F8 repeatively on Windows startup, until you see the Safe mode options screen

    In that area you have "Last known good configuration" which you could try
    If that doesn't work, try: "Safe Mode"

    If you get in via Safe Mode
    Go to Start-->Control Panel-->Syste-->Advanced- Settings (under Start and Recovery)
    And then untick, "Automatic restart"
    Apply OK OK

    Then restart

    yer i have done that it wont start up in safe mode
  4. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    Put the Xp CD in and boot from it
    Go to the first R prompt
    Select the Administrator account by pressing 1
    Then select enter

    Once on the recovery screen type:

    chkdsk c: /r
    (note: there is a space before the /r)

    Once Check Disk has finished repairing any faults
    Type exit to restart

    Test again

    yer im doing that now its a 66% after about 2 hours
  6. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    So far normal :)

    Well it is a tad extreme, but I'd continue until it finishes
    If you feel this is taking too long (possibly already)
    Then you could run Memtest on your Ram (7 passes or 4 hrs test required)
    Or a Drive Diagnostics on your HardDrive.

    It may also be beneficial to load cmos defaults, and remove all not required externals (mostly extra USB things plugged in).

    umm i cant get into my desktop or anything im on a laptop atm
    so i cant run a memtest or hdd test
    chkdsk 71%

    chkdsk went from 75% to 56% WTF!
  8. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    Still normal

    But the links I supplied are to create a bootable CD to test your Ram (and HardDrive)
    But maybe just wait for cd to finish
  9. Frac Newcomer, in training

    YES i can start it up in safe mode
  10. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    :)

    Please back up immediately to USB flash or DVD
    The Hard Drive could still be faulty
  11. Frac Newcomer, in training

    umm u no of any good prog to back up my hdd
    and so i can spilt it in to many dvds
  12. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    Yes

    another HardDrive ! (Which will probably get E: (after the D drive DVD)
  13. Frac Newcomer, in training

    ummm thats a problem i dont have another 1 and its nearly 11pm ova here
  14. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    Hmm

    Well lets just say I've seen this before
    And in about 1 out of every 3 the HardDrive fails on restart (So then...)

    Maybe forget all that big stuff, and get the non replacable documents and things
    (here we go 10 gig of personal pics no doubt!)
  15. Frac Newcomer, in training

    yer i spose thanks for all the help so if i keep getting the bsod when i boot the comp
    wat shood i do then?

    You may also receive a MiniDump in c:\windows\minidump folder that you can attach (for me to test)
    But I already assume it's going to say bad memory (on HardDrive or Ram)
  17. Frac Newcomer, in training

    minidump file

    here it is
  18. kimsland Ex-TechSpotter

    Inside the 2 MiniDumps:
    Vtdisp.dll: VIA/S3G Graphics Driver

    Please uninstall your graphics driver and download and install the newest version from your manufactures website
