I am having major problems with my son's computer. Dell Dimension running windows XP home edition. First windows start up is EXTREMELY slow. Then a blue screen message and here is what is reads: A problem has been detected wnd windows has to shut down to prevent damage. Then it goes on about checking disk space. If a driver is identified in the error message, to disable the driver. Check with Hardrive vendor for BIOS updates or disable BIOS memory options such as shadowing or caching.
Technical Info:
Stop: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xf89bfc86, 0xf2f16cb0, 0x00000000)
Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete.
I have tried restarted to the last known good config, however, this still happens everytime he turns on his computer. Any ideas? I am not a super computer know it all, but I am confident at trying some things. Thanks!

For some reason, Windows decided it didn't like a peic eof hardware in your machine, basically. Perhaps you updated a driver or something like that and Windows didn't like it.
The best thing to do in this situation is to put in your restore cd(s) and re-install Windows. If you'll pay close attention during the installation, there will be a repair option. This is what you want as it won't result in any of your personal data being lost.
Hope this helps.
