Hi, having problems with windows xp home sp2 on my bros computer
here it goes

I go to play the game C&C generals so i load it up, intro movie, loading screen, then BOSD
It has a crash at ATI3.exe so i restart and it was acting wired like not loading the desktop and crashnig every 2 minutes

so i boot into safe and i get the disk check thing come up and as it was checking i restarted the system cuz i thoguht it was going to take to long

then i booted back into safe mode and it loads all the drivers on the black sreen and it hangs for about 10 mins and restarts
so then i boot into regular mode and get the welcome screen log in and it hangs nothnig loads exect the task manger

after that i restart again and get a BOSD

FATAL ERROR C000021a windows has shut down
The file (then a line of numbers) could not start

also a repair doesnt work, same numbers as before
do i have to totally wipe the drive?
also i cant get the minidumps cuz windows wont load

any ideas?
