Blue Screen on Startup

[Koma]

I have reported this problem before but appearently nobody could help me. When I try to boot Windows XP I get this error Blue Screen message:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advances Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

At first I was running XP Home without any problems until I messed around with my uxtheme.dll. Then Windows would still boot but not load the desktop so I thaught reinstalling Windows would be the next best thing. However, Windows installation failed to proceed as it tried to configure my hardware.

My system specs:

P5N-e SLI (Asus)

Q6600 Quadcore (Intel)

GeForce 8800 GT (no name)

2 GB ram DDR2-800 (Team Elite)

320 GB HDD (Samsung)

I tried Vista instead and it had no problems at all. Also GNU/Linux boots perfectly. I have now borrowed a XP Professional DVD from a friend and I wanted to see if it had any problems. The Windows installation works like a charm but when it tried to load the desktop I get the above error message again.

Please help me, thank you!

okay... have you try to restore the default uxtheme.dll?

NVENETFD.SYS is a nvidia driver, so you can't be really surprised to be getting BSODs like that... Very poor driver quality.

Try updating your network drivers, and cross your fingers.

This is why I don't buy anything nvidia. I value stability.

Edit: BTW, memory dumps would help, but when you see a BSOD with a driver name that starts by "nv"...

Okay, I have figured it out. It's an error with the integrated Nvidia driver from XP.

I tried an nlited version with removed drivers and it worked. There are no problems if you install the drivers manually...
