Hello, I've got a problem with a computer which currently has Windows XP installed on it. The problem is that after the computer has booted as far as the point where you should get a windows XP loading screen, it crashes into a blue screen. With a typical message to check the drive for virusses and everything.
Originaly the computer had Windows 98, but because of driver problems it no longer recognized many of it's components. I removed the harddrive and installed it into a different computer and installed Windows XP Pro on it, after which I put the harddrive with a newly installed version of WinXP back into the computer and tried to boot it up. Which constantly results into a blue screen.
This makes me wonder what is wrong, since in the Windows 98 installation there we're no such problems. The only thing that might be broken is the DVD-Writer, however even with that unconnected the computer gets the blue screen.
Frankly I'm stumped at what the problem is. Anything I could try?
