Woke one morning booted my computer and got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. The stop error codes that I was getting are the following: 0x0000007E, 0x00000005, 0x8050D532, 0xF7A573B8, 0xF7A570B4 I have included images of the screen that comes up before going to the bluescreen If possible I would like to just reinstall XP Pro but it has been difficult for me to find a ready made iso or to make one to boot from. I would appreciate some guidance and instructions on this matter
Most of the time if blue screen appears, it is usually caused by virus or spyware. Scan your drive and re-install your OS, that should fix it.
BSOD might mean that something with your hardware is wrong. When I change my CPU's voltage I get BSOD, so I suggest that you have your hardware checked or reinstall a new operating system.
cant scan drive because i cant get past BSOD. cant reinstall because i dont have bootable reinstallation disc.
Create a bootable USB drive and put AV on it so you can scan for viruses. Also find a way to replace the system files.
I had a similar problem with XP Home just a couple of days ago - the thing wouldn't start even in Safe Mode and was caught in a loop of restarting, attempting to boot, restarting. I tinkered with the BIOS so it ran XP from the disc (fortunately I have a legit hard copy), selected the reinstall option and then the repair option. So far so good.
Yea, you cold try to run windows from CD or something, but if that fails I'm guessing that your RAM is done.
