Help with windows XP not starting?

Sounds like some boot files in windows have been corrupted in one way or another or its a problom with your graphics card/drivers. Bear in mind that Im trying to use very generalized methods to walk you through this as I really dont know what happened without physical access to your computer because this could be a hardware problem but probabally not if your getting past the bios. First try to use your windows xp disk or whatever disk that came with the computer and click on repair if booting into safe mode produces the same result of a blue screen. If you can get into safe mode try uninstalling the video drivers and restarting. it will then use generic drivers to try to display in a very low resolution then try to find the model of your computer go the the manufaturer webpage and download the driver which will probabally be under some sort of support menu. If all else fails you could also use a windows xp disk after booting into your computer bios by pressing most likely what is f12 esc or any other key in the row find boot order change it to cd save settings and exit this will completely reinstall the OS so make sure if you have essentail files that need to be backed up to take care of that before proceeding. If any of these methods works or you have any other questions email me at cmax233@gmail.com.
