If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for
any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you
need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart you computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
------------------------------------------------
I am pretty sure that no new software was installed, and definately no new
hardware was installed.
I can't find where I can disable memory options in BIOS. I must be
overlooking this.

I have a computer that runs XP Pro (SP-3) that fails to boot every time.
This was shut down properly, however, it now will not boot back up. Even in
safe mode it restarts just as windows should be loading.
Any ideas?
