text: help wanted!? i have built a pc recently but everytime i boot it up it goes through post ok then when xp starts a blue error screen appears. any idea why? i is frustrating. spec:abit ni8-sli gr s775 pci-e mobo  pentium 4 640 socket 775 2mb 800fsb  gainward geforce 6800gs 512mb gddr3 tvo  corsair vs 1gb ddr2 240p i have had the same thing happen before. first thing to do is to see if it starts in safe mode by holding f8 at boot. it may be that you need to re-install windows. another thing to do to test is to get a linux distro. you can download small ones like damn small linux or knoppix. make a live cd or install it on the hard drive. that way you will know if the problem is hardware or software.
