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.

My PC has become unstable and won't boot.

It gets to the point of displaying the windows xp welcome screen
with the small window with the blue bars scrolling across and just
before it gets to the login screen a blue screen flashes very
quickly (too fast to read the text but you can quickly glimpse that
there is error information displayed) and then it reboots again.

It will boot into safe mode with networking and works fine in that
mode.

I tried going to an earlier restire point and each attempt
fails...it tries to reboot but system restore then says the restore
failed. I tried a number of different restore points and each
failed with the same error.

After running in safe mode for a while the PC has on a couple of
occasions spontaneously shut down with a messge saying the shutdown
was initiated by NT Authority/System because the DCOM Server Process
Launcher service terminated unexpectedly.

The PC is currently infected with the XP Antispyare 2009 malware and
I was just going through the process to get rid of it when this
instability first apppeared. I was in the middle of installing
Malwarebytes when the system shut down.

With all of that....anu suggestiosn would be appreciated.

Is there a way to capture the blue screen info in some sort of log
so I can see what is failing during reboot?

regards
Barry
