Review the following: Start Your Computer by Using the Last Known Good Configuration If that is of no help, you can start XP using the Recovery Console. You will need the XP CD and may have to select the cd-rom as the first device in the boot order, which is found in the system BIOS. LL

Sorry it took so long to post back, previous 2 posts to this thread have been lost in cyber space. Thanks for the response LL, however neither option works, when she starts with cd she gets the above errors

Sounds like your diagnoses is correct; ram or graphics card. Try a different stick of ram, if no luck, swap out a vid card. General Causes of STOP 0x0000007F Errors LL
