Still having probs with Xp...

[stressed out]

Hi, vehelpfulguy, i tried your suggestion but i don't get the initial boot page up. Instead my pc very strangely allowed me to re-install xp but it started up on it's own and then when it got to the section that asks me for the regional sttings i typed next and it just stayed there stuck on 30 minutes left and did'nt go any further so i turned off from tower and that familiar blue screen came up telling me that it had encountered a problem and had to shut down!

I just want to give up now but i won't rest until i get it working again.

What can i do?

Thanks

Lets take it a step at a time.

First, were you able to enter your bios ?

You will get a sceeen like this one below BEFORE you go in your BIOS (it may look slightly different on your PC depending which type of BIOS you have).

See text at the bottom it says:

Press DEL to enter setup
