You could try disconnecting all peripheral connected , except keyboard, mouse and monitor and see if it will boot.

What is the computer make and model?

What version of Windows XP do you have? Does your Windows XP CD include the SP2 update or did you install SP2 from the free special SP2 CDs distributed by Microsoft in 2004 or download SP2?

My computer froze up on me and showed me a blue screen with a bad_pool_header
message. The first time you get the message, the screen directs you to
restart the computer. Now, I get the message at start up and cannot use the
computer.

I tried going to safe mode but I was unable to do a system restore.

In searching the knowledge base I did not find anything about a bad pool
header error message for XP. Any help is appreciated.

In case this helps, here is the technical information from the bad pool
header message:

Stop: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0x89c80270, 0x89c80288, 0x1A030001)

Thanks.
