it reboots when the windows xp screen comes up and shows a loading bar. at the moment i should choose which user it restarts. . I ran avg antivirus and spyware. 4 dumb spyware things found but i needed the updated spyware version to delete. and nothing showed on the 40 minute anti virus scan. I put in the original xp disk and reapired. then upon booting up i got the blue screen of death message. I did try fixboot and fixmbr also.

wipe your hard drive COMPLETELY and reinstall XP

Page fault means that the PC is not able to read a file it needs to move information in and out of its memory. Try booting the PC in Safe Mode (Boot and repeatedly press the F8 key until you get a screen that offers you the Safe Mode option).
Once booted, right click on your Hard Drive (C:) in My Computer. Select Properties and go to the Tools tab. Run the Error-checking option. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

Press F8 during windows startup and load from "last known good configuration". Then if the message appears again, write down the error no. and google it.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
