    what exactly does the error say? would help knowing that.

    Please let me know the make and model of your computer. When did this problem begin? Did you install any new programs lately? Do you know how to start in safe mode?

    OK, so when you boot the PC, you must hold down the F8 key until you get to the safe mode screen. Please try again. Tell me what happens when you hold the F8 key during boot.

    From what you describe, sounds like your RAM or Hard Drive is not making a good connection. Has this PC been dropped or jostled recently? You should try reseating the Ram and the Hard Drive.

    I hate the idea of you paying to have this problem fixed. It is not difficult to do what I suggest you can do on your own. It's not hard, you just need some faith in me and yourself.
