Only functional in safe mode on Windows XP Professional
Only functional in safe mode on Windows XP Professional
Long story, but as a side project im building a PC that runs windows XP by frankensteining together parts I have from friends and my old PCs. Basically though, I try to boot to windows XP, but unfortunately it will show the loading screen and after a bit it will show a bsod for a fraction of a second (see attached image) and reboot, I then can select to boot in safe mode (with networking or command prompt) or to boot normally or use last known good configuration. I don't have a Windows XP installation cd (although I do have a Windows 2000 pro upgrade CD and would be fine with using it), and I may buy one later, but from what it looks like my best bet would be to use one to do a clean reset of windows xp. If anybody can confirm that or give me another thing to try first, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, before I buy an installation disk, would it be possible to burn a CD to have the installer on it, and if any of you know a website where I could do that for free, please also let me know that as well. Also I can take a video if you feel that it would give you any more information.
Power on in safe mode and review msconfig to identify startup programs. Turn off all settings... It might be the graphics driver that's faulty, or there could be an issue with the pagefile storage location. Using SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING generally works well, though performance may be affected by lower resolution.
This code is often seen as a generic error message for Windows XP, simply indicating "An Error Occured." It might point to a driver problem, conflicting hardware, or software interference. Since the hardware appears mixed from various sources, pinpointing the cause is tough. Just reinstall the Windows XP ISO and try again.
Select the Paragon Adaptive Restore 2010 bootable USB and pick "adjust os".
