  1. Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This  problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info


  2. The Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSoD, bluescreen, or Blue Screen of Doom) is an error screen frequently displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage.

    Bluescreens on NT-based Windows systems can be caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system could also cause bluescreens.

    Bluescreens can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty memory, power supply issues, overheating of components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; earlier, OS/2 and MS-DOS suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.

    Two of the most common reasons for BSoDs are:

        * Problems that occur with incompatible versions of DLLs. Windows loads these DLLs into memory when they are needed by application programs; if versions are changed, the next time an application loads the DLL it may be different from what the application expects. These incompatibilities increase over time as more new software is installed, and is one of the main reasons why a freshly-installed copy of Windows is more stable than an "old" one.

        * Faulty or poorly written device drivers, hardware incompatibilities, or damaged hardware may also cause a BSoD.

    thats all for now try thinking on this basis may be it will help you ..

  3. After pressing F8 during start up, select Last known good configuarion, if a software is installed after the last successful boot this option will boot the system without the software and if the that software is the reason for your system not coming up then your system will come up. You can then uninstall the software.

  4. If the blue screen stays up long enough for you to see the error code, then write it down, then check here for troubleshooting steps: http://myitkb.net/windows-stop-error-cod...

    If the error message doesn't stay up long enough for you to read it, then try the following. If you installed any hardware recently, remove it and see if it can boot. If that doesn't work or you haven't installed anything new then try removing any and all peripherals and add-on cards so that you just have the tower and the monitor. If that works, add them back one at a time until the BSOD starts coming up again and you'll know which device is causing the problems. If you're still getting blue screens with nothing attached, try reseating your RAM.

    If you're still getting BSODs after that, download MemTest86 and use it to test your RAM. If you don't get any errors, run CHKDSK on your hard drive from the Recovery Console (on your XP Install Disc) and see if it finds any bad sectors. If no errors are found, try reinstalling XP and see if you can boot after that. If not, I'd say you most likely have a bad motherboard, CPU or power supply. In which case it'll probably be easier to just buy a new PC than it would be to figure out what the problem is and replace it.
