Re: blue screen of death

We need to know (at least):

1- Your version of Windows (including the service pack)
2- the numbers/letters after 0x00...
3- The NAME_OF_THE_ERROR
4- The exact circumstances under which you see the error.
5- Any changes to the hardware or software made recently before the error message started appearing.

I have a clone laptop which has been working well until this week. My
screen turns blue when the machine boots up. I have windows xp
installed. The boot-up shows the first horizontal windows status bar
but then revers to a blue screen error message saying that "windows
had to halt as continuing would damage the computer". It goes on to
say that my video display driver is damaged.
Im suspicious of this as I've been unable to start the thing in safe
mode. A week earlier.. I downloaded the microsoft malware software and
detected/fixed (Or so I thought) a malware item on my machine
I have been able to start it in safe mode with command prompt.. Can I
use this as a way in to fix the problem?
Do I need to set up a boot disk? I have Mcaffee anti-virus which works
well as you can tell.- Hide quoted text -

Yes it does.. there are at least 5 of these numbers. Im not at the
machine right now but can pass them on tomorrow if that is of issue.
