Do you have an AMD chip, and are using Symantec software. There is a glitch involving that combination. You might want to go to the Microsoft site for additional info.

But the error information shown looks like a bad memory module, video graphics driver, or hard drive.
If you can get it to run, download the drive fitness test from the manufacturer's website and watch for the results of the S.M.A.R.T. test results which say "Healthy" You may also want to run the longer test.
For the memory test, download and run MemTest86 for four hours or seven passes which ever takes longer.
For the video card, shut down. Reboot to <SAFE MODE> by pressing <F8> repeatedly once per second until you get the low resoution screen. It it works fine in SAFE MODE, it may be a bad video card or a bad video driver, but more work must be done.
