the screen goes blue with the message "windows has detected a serious problem and needs to close" then i have to restart in safe mode. i have completely wiped the hard drive and re-installed everything from scratch yet it still does it. i thought i had pinned it down to my new scanner as once i had disconnected it everything was fine. a few days later it did it again(with the scanner disconnected) and i now beleive it to be the actual USB port (of which i have 8). since then i have not used this port and everything is working fine. has anybody ever come across this and more importantly is this the start of something more detremental.

well its either an overloaded USB rack, or its trying to start with everything turned on, and youve got nowhere near enough ram..so it locks up... and gives you the blue screen of death.
start> run> type MSCONFIG into the prompt and select teh startup folder..and untick everything..and tehn reboot. it should load perfectly, and when you want something, a click on an icon will fire it up...
this is why i dont use XP... try LINUX looks like windows, but its free, and doesnt crash... type UBUNTU into google and have a look

When you got the blue screen of death, it posted a number, you can use this number to google the web for help. Also, if you are using windows XP, it will log any issues for you to research later.
Go into your control panel, click on Administrative Tools, click on event viewer, and then on system. Of course anything with a red x will be an error you want to pay attention to. You can right click the error and click properties to display more information. If you are connected to the web, it will even provide help from Microsoft's web services.

Sounds like an under powered PC. Its ver difficult to read what it says on the blue screen of death as it only there for a few seconds. Use the microsoft crash analysis sytem to see if they have a fix.

Do you happen to have all those USB ports occupied?
Sometimes I've seen windows shutdown because their wasnt a sufficient amount of wattage to supply all the components in the computer to work properly.
