Good day, I hope that someone can help me with this. Here is the story; Kind of long but would rather give you more info then not enough.
Pc is a Dell XPS 400 running Xp (I believe it is sp4) ; 1 gig ram (2 512kb sticks);
Issue:
I have been having problems with pc running slowly, I used CleanCare software to do a check. worked well the first couple of times I ran; Found malware that was not found by S&D or Malware; I ran a check of registry (There was a backup or save point made before the scan was done) and found somewhere around 200 or so issues. I change 4 that were listed as not used and were listed as a High priority. (Start with a small amount incase I screw something up, Like now)
To have the changes take effect I reboot my pc. After approximately 15min of no hdd action during the shut down process. Screen stated that "windows is saving your settings" I did an Edison reboot pressing the power button. When I restarted the pc it will pass the bios but hang before the windows splash screen and there is no Hdd action Ie, Light does not go on or flicker.
If I start in Safe Mode (Any option, network, command prompt or safe mode) The following files are loaded: Ntoskrnl.exe; Hal.dll; Kdcom.dll; Bootvid.dll; then It hangs during the System file being loaded. So I pulled out the reinstall cd and tried to boot from the Cd.
Drop in cd reboot, Boot from CD; cd loads all files and gets to the 3 choice option of Press "R" for Repair center: Press "Enter" to load Xp and Press "Q" to quit and boot normally. If I choose R it goes to Bsod error of 0X0a; If I reboot and press Enter for load XP I then get the software agreement I press F8 then get the Bsod of 0x0a error again. I tried booting with the Hdd disconnected all is the same short of if I press Enter to load Xp then I receive the Software agreement press F8 then the window that normally list OS that are loaded on Hdd states there is no Os found (Because I have the HDD disconnected) If I press enter to continue I receive the Bsod error of 0x05
Some things I have tried:
I have pulled both memory sticks and swapped slots; run a single stick at a time, pulled Fdd to check for a hardware issue. I have run Memtest both the long and short test and have found no issues. I ran Seagate Seatools harddrive test. When I choose either the long or short test I first get an error that states "Harddrive has been overtemp -- 85"; Tried to boot from an external Dvd drive via USB connect this give me the same error as the internal Dvd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
