A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as a caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced start up options, and then select safe mode.

• The RAM configuration is incompatible with Windows XP.
Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To troubleshoot this behavior, follow these steps: 1. Remove some of the memory modules that are installed on the computer. Leave at least the RAM that is required for the computer to start and run Windows XP.
The recommended RAM to run Windows XP is 128 megabytes (MB). The minimum is 64 MB, and the maximum is 4 gigabytes.
For example, if two 256-MB memory modules are installed on your computer, remove one of the memory modules.
2. Restart your computer, and then run the Setup program:a. Insert the Windows XP Setup CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive, start the computer, and then click OK to select the first option screen to install a copy of Windows XP.
b. Click Accept, and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Windows XP installation.
3. If you again receive the error message that is mentioned in the “Symptoms” section, go to step 4.
4. Remove a different memory module, or install the RAM in a different memory slot.
5. Restart your computer, and then rerun Setup.
You may have to restart your computer several times to identify the specific memory modules that are not working correctly.

You need to troubleshoot your RAM. Did you just build your PC? or have you done anything to your RAM? I simply put your Stop Code into the search engine and it came back with a Microsoft Knowledgebase Article on your failure. It points to bad RAM (memory). The article tells you how to troubleshoot the problem.

people with these Qs should allow email..its step by step..got xp?
This is going to be a major problem for you. This particular BSOD is caused by a virus in the Master Boot Record (MBR) which is the first part of the partition on your hard drive. There is only one way to fix the MBR, and that is to replace it:http://ultcomprepair.blogspot.com/2008/0…
The problem is that you’re probably going to get the same BSOD when trying to repair the MBR (it happens 9/10). I’ve got a computer I’m working on right now with the same problem.
In the end the best course of action here is to do a full recovery on the system. There is nothing that can be done. It’s annoying but generally the only hope.
EDIT: Depending on the computer and how long ago your purchased the computer there might be a built in partition. Problem is that with an MBR virus it might not work. If you know the make and model though I can help you.
