Hello Debbie,

Whenever you ask about Windows XP, it's important to state what version
of XP you have, including the service pack.

When asking about a problem, it's better if you can offer any clues
about why you may be experiencing the problem, e.g., recent changes to
software or hardware. The fewer details you provide, the more generic
your answers will be.

If you can do the following procedure in Safe Mode it will be easier.

In Safe Mode or in 'normal' mode: Control Panel > System > Advanced tab
> Startup and Recovery Settings button > Advanced tab > remove the
check mark from 'Automatically restart.'

Now restart your computer. When your computer freezes at a blue screen,
read the message. At the bottom of the message, copy the number (it
begins with 0x000...) and the name of the error (LOOKS_LIKE_THIS.)

Post again with your complete version of Windows, any clues you might
have to explain your problem, and the number and name of the error you saw.

The way I stopped this was to do a error check on my hard drive. Click on
start then my computer. Right click on your hard drive C. and then
Properties. Click on tools and then error checking. Click on error checking
and it will do this when you reboot you computer.

Cannot get to the point of doing this - have had 2 "experts" look at it also
and they cannot access it or even log in. Acts like a virus or hard drive
failure - however HDD "sounds" normal. Next step is forensic recovery $$.
