alright I have been having this minor problem for, well since I have got this computer, I have reformated it many times, but it still is a problem.

at any givin time usually 15-20mins or so on the computer boom I get the BSOD (blue screen of death) saying fatal error 0028:C0004E80 VXD VMM or it will come up as 0028:C0005257 VXD VMM Iv researched this mainly on google and I just can't understand the resolution for this shit, so if anyone would help it would be GREATLY appreciated.

more info: i am not using a matrox (spelling) graphics card, I have went into cmd promt and tried scanreg it so no errors found, tried a Restistry Cleaner but it needed to be registered and as I looked for a serial number bam virus.

format your harddrive and re-install the operating system, it only takes what 40 mins max ?

I agree with Tom. Also make sure to get anti-virus and firewall up as soon as the install is done. Then get all your updates.

if your harddrive is partition`ed then save all your shit to the 2nd partition and virus check it, once you have done this make a boot disk, insert the disk and reboot your pc it will load in dos and will get a A:/ or c:/ run the command

format C:/

and wait, after its done, insert the windows xp disc and run setup, go from there and follow the instructions.

unpack with win rar and burn to cd, there you go xp disc, if that dont work, donload isobuster and that has a option to burn bin files strait to cd.
