Whenever I boot my computer it goes to the windows XP screen then it goes through a blue screen of death for half a second and restarts. I cannot use System Restore since I needed to shut it down to remove a trojan I cant run disk check-error since it tells me to restart when I run it at safe-mode, and since XP wont boot, it never gets to that part. One time however, out of frustraition, I bangged the keyboard and it booted fine (if that helped)

*update* Ok, I read somewhere that Mcafee can cause this, so I un-installed Mcafee and the BSOD at startup is gone now (Praise the lord) however, how do I fix this Mcafee BSOD problem? Or should I get a different virus scanner

For future if you ever get a Blue screen again, in windows right click my computer and select properties. Click the advanced tab and under startup and recovery click settings. Under system failure untick Automatically restart. Now whenever you get a blue screen your pc won't restart and it will display the error message for as long as you like. You can then use the information to search for a cause. I have no idea how to fix the Mcafee problem but I would suggest contacting Mcafee support and see if they know about it or have a fix. Have you updated Mcafee to the latest version as that may include a fix? If all else fails then I recommend Kaspersky Anti-Virus who are one of the best.

mmm another bod who is having issues with a current version of MacAfee... I'd go with another util. My preference currently is Avast (avast.com). Works fine for me (on all M$-OS)... and it's "free" for home use. Now - having praised the Lord... - pass the ammunition...

Seems like I celebrated to soon, a few restarts later, the BSOD is back. Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Stop: 0x000000D1 (0xF78935E4, 0x00000007 0x00000000 0xF7881D40) NDIS.sys - Address F78935E4 base at F786C000 Datestomp 3d6de4c3 NDIS.Sys - Address F7881D40 at F786C000 Datestomp 3d6de4c3

I'd still be inclined to avoid MacAfee etc... Meanwhile... Run a scandisk routine (if you can now you've removed MacAfee) - and see if it coughs up any issues with the hard-drive. Likwise there may be RAM stick going down...; the "intermittent" nature of this event suggests it "might" be due to the latter... If you have two or more sticks installed reduce a single stick (min 128Meg) and see if error goes away; and logically try each stick in turn...? Also any prospect of borrowing a "known to be good" stick (or more) of RAM to try in situ?

ok, I tried the ram sticks 1 by 1 and I still got the error Seems like if I uninstall something in safemode, the computer will boot normally until the next restart. I re-installed the Ethernet cable thing since I read NDIS.sys has something to do with that, but that didn't work I uninstalled Mcafee but seems like the process are still their, Mcafee real-time scanner is on automatic and when I try to disable it i get: Error 5: Acess denied(even in admin account) When I try to acess add new hardware I get the same BSOD In normal my Internet goes on for a few minutes and then off, but in safemode the internet is fine
