Hi guys,

I've come across a problem with my PC and would just like to know how to resolve it. Here's what's wrong:

I turn on my PC and it loads up normally until it reaches the Windows load screen with the bars running along the bottom but as soon as the first bar appears the screen flashes with the Blue Screen and then resets. I have tried starting in Safe Mode, disabling Auto Restart after System Failure and nothing has changed. I have copied down the Stop error number on the Blue screen and it is this:

Stop Error 0X00000024 (0X00190203, 0X8A51B628, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000)

Any help would be great as I want to get my PC up and running ASAP!

Thanks,

did you look the memory?Put out them and then put back one turn on the pc and again the other....

What do you mean? I don't understand...

do you ever detach the memory from the pc?

Remove the rams,and put them back one by one.
If the rams are ok then look the video card if it is installed properly,if you had an old vga and get a new then firstly the old one you have to uninstall its drivers....

No i've never removed any of the hardware from the PC. It was working fine last night and just decided not to work this morning.

jump into safe mode and try to restore the system to the last night's time

what was the last thing u did ? Did u install the Service pack 3 ? which version of xp are u using ? Do you have any printer/scanner etc connected to the system ? If yes , unplug them and try to boot again

Did u try doing the system restore from safe mode ?

GOOD LUCK

Okay, I was using the computer fine the night before it stopped working. I turned it on like normal, I didn't install any software or hardware to the PC, and then turned I it off like normal after using it. By safe mode I assume you mean choose the option that says: Start Windows in Safe Mode
along with the other ones:
Start Windows in Safe Mode With Networking / Command Prompt etc

I have said that I tried this and it does not seem to do anything (I get no chance to do a System Restore), the system reboots as soon as it hits the Windows loading screen.

I have Windows XP Professional, Genuine. I am pretty sure I only have Service Pack 2. Nothing is connected to the PC.

My PC also makes a click noise (Probably from the Hard Drive) each time it restarts, I don't know if this is supposed to happen or i'm just noticing it because the PC keeps restarting.

Hello, pho... your error refers to a problem NTFS.sys is having. This is the driver that controls reads/writes to your NTFS disk. The problem may lie with the driver file itself or with the disk..ie a hardware failure. Solution involves using another disk [**] with an OS on it - either place one such in your machine and boot from it, or connect your failing drive into another machine as a slave. After starting the OS run CHKDSK on your failing drive. If it passes, then try to boot from it as per normal. If not, then copy in a new NTFS.sys [into windows\system32\drivers].
By disk [**] I mean either a bootable disk such as a Windows installation disk [in which case you would use the Recovery Console to run CHKDSK and copy in a new ntfs.sys], or another hard drive you snatched from another machine, or just happened to have lying around.
