Hi all, I'l on my knees praying that someone can help. I would say i'm computer literate but not that good with them to be honest. I've had a look at the other posts but I can't find any specific to mines.... When I start the P.C up it boots up...well it tries to then get the instant blue flash and blue screen error code. I managed to disable the auto restart (F8) in order to see what the problem was and it gave me the **STOP Ox00000008E (Oxc00000005, Ox804D92C2, OxBAD9F6D4, Ox00000000. If i didnt stop the auto start all the P.C does it attempt to re-boot.....very very very quick flash of blue screen and re-attempts to boot up again...this could go on for ages until I just gave up I cannot boot up in safe mode, I can't go back and start the P.C from the last known good configuration...I cant do anything with the P.C at this stage....it won't let me. So this is part of the problem......I've downloaded a few programmes and stuff and read forums ect but I can't get it by the blue screen in order to install any repair programmes or utilities. I don't have a windows disk as the softwear was pre-installed from Time P.C's. The windows XP Home is on the "Time Start Up Disk" but if I put that in the only prompt it gives is to ask if I want to revert my P.C to it's original state which would wipe out EVERYTHING. Would having a seperate Windows XP disk help recover my files?? I havent put any additional hardware in recently. I put in extra usb's and a DVD drive but that was well over a year ago. I need to recover my DATA. 1. Time PC. 2. Athlon AMD 3. 5 year old. Don't know much else about it tbh. Many Many Thanks guys and I promise if someone helps me fix this I'll do my bit and make a good donation. Thanks

Hi all, looking forward to reading through the posts and trying to help if i can....but HOPE and PRAY that I can get my P.C sorted first. Thanks in advance to all that help and the mods for making this an excellent forum. Well done!! :D:D Tony
