Please post a copy of the Stop Error Report.
Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.
Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.
An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.
If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Hope this helps.

Well, looks like it's time to reformat one of my computers (if it's
even possible). I turned on one of the computers, only to find that
it's now looping through the startup windows, including the "Would
you like to start the computer in safe mode/last known good config,
etc". No matter which option you pick, the computer, restarts, goes
to the HP logo (computer brand), and goes back to choose which start
up mode to use. I've tried all of them to no avail.
I'm presuming the only answer is to toss an XP DVD in the drive and
reformat the HD, but I was hoping there was a way to avoid that.
While the computer certainly could use a wipe, there are some things
I'd like to get backed up before I do it. Thanks!
