    total n00b with computers

    i just recently turned my computer from a fat32 to a NTFS via run>cmd ...
    etc but now every time i try to log onto windows account it reboots itself,
    saying something like "dumping of physical memory" and it enters this blue
    screen..
    i tried to turn off the plug (total beginner with pc's *sighh* and the problem
    persists.. but this time it came up with the message ipwins need to be
    reinstalled.. then it reboots with the blue screen again.
    anyway i did a quick search on my 2nd computer on ipwins and it said it
    was a threatening spyware, so i went onto safe mode on the first pc and ran
    theavg spyware free edition, it came up with 105 spywares/cookies, so i
    deleted them all, i tried again, reboot, type password, it showed my desktop
    for a while, but then it reboots itself to the same blue screen!! please help..
    any info on how to solve the problem would be greatly appreciated

    Go back into Safe Mode and from start Run... cmd

    Then type: chkdsk /r

    You will be told the volume is in use do you want to run chkdsk on next boot.

    Type: y and then reboot.

    If this doesn't help there are several commands available when you boot the XP CD into the Recovery Console. Details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058

    As a last resort a Repair Install might be the most beneficial tack:

    I would really suggest running a Repair Install of XP. It will basically redo your Upgrade.
