Today I built a computer for a friend. I put it together, installed Windows XP Home, installed all updated drivers and everything was fine. I played around on it and made sure everything was fine. I even restarted 4 or 5 times just to make sure everything was going smoothly. Sure enough, no problems. He came over and picked it up and took it to his house, but now it won't start. It goes through POST, but comes up with an error message that says "Windows encountered a fatal error", and then the screen that has options to "start windows XP normally", "start in safe mode", "start with last known good configuration", etc comes up. He can't get past this screen. Whichever option he chooses, the computer simply restarts and the cycle continues. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be happening? I'm stumped because like I said it worked fine after 4 or 5 restarts. I didn't do anything like shut it down improperly or anything, so I'm clueless.
