    That message is a corrupt pagefile. Usually it means bad memory, if you have 2 sticks in the machine remove one or the other and see if it goes away.

    If it's not the memory, tap "F8" while booting to access the safe mode selection screen. Try "last known good configuration". If that doesnt work it is restore disk time.

    hope it helps.
