    Go to system properties in the control panel, and on the advanced tab, select startup and recovery. In there is an option to automatically restart, untick this. Now the bluescreen message will stay so you can read the error message.

    First off if you haveyour xp disc try booting form it press enter and then F8 to install xp then it should see it already installed press "R" to repair the installation. If it doesnt see it QUIT dont go any further yet.

    Ah Yes.. screen of death..
    you should try Linux operating system (open source)
    It free, better than windows and easier to use..

    Try it.. Good Luck

    OP

    have you tried looking in the event log to see what the error was

    event viewer is in admin tools and check the system log for errors , in some cases you can click on the link and it may take you to the page

    if you have been playing around with the hardware , expecially clocking then rest the speeds back and use a memory checking program

    boot up in safe mode to see if more stable
