There I was minding my own business playing on Freelancer with Firefox and Windows Media Player running in the background and suddenly I get the old blue screen of death.
So I sat there expecting to get the usual blurb but instead the screen just stays blue so I decided to hit the reset button. It began to load up as normal and got to the point where it tells you that Windows didn't close properly the last time and offers you the options to start in safe mode etc. I chose to start as normal and so the boot-up procedure continued and I got to the main black 'Xp load screen' with the moving bar... where it then decides to reboot.
At the moment it keeps rebooting whenever I get to that Xp load screen no matter what option I pick: 'Safe mode, normal mode etc...'
Anyone got any suggestions? I really would like to not have to re-install Windows... everyone knows how much it is to lose everything on you hard-drive.
I'm running XP home edition on a AMD 64 3200, 1GB RAM not sure about motherboard... Radeon 9800 pro GFX card.
