[Help] XP Registry_Error BSOD

[mini12]

I have a major problem with my computer, all of a sudden when i start up my computer it comes up with a Registry_Error Blue Screen of Death with Windows XP boots up and then restarts. I have tried to use the Recovery console but when it load the BSOD comes up so i can't use it.

I have tried to reinstall xp but the BSOD comes up again. I have tried to use the F8 options but no help. My computer has:

Windows XP Home Edition,

1 Gb of RAM

160 Gb Harddrive

I have tried to reset the BIOS with no help, i have tried to remove some RAM but again no help.

Please Help

Thanks

Did you get and run Memtest86? Run Memtest86 for 24 hours. (or up until you see an error)

Also check that the processor's cooling system is intact and working properly.

Here's a silly question, but I'm surprised it hasn't been asked - what's the bug check STOP code?

No i don't think its a memory problem nor a processor fan error, I believe its a actual registry problem is there anyway i could reformat the hard drive without using the windows disk???

A very usefull way would be to boot from a Win PE CD.

Depending on the problem, you might even recover some files or fix your problem

a little more detail on the BSOD would be helpful. but guessing windows\system32\config\SYSTEM is missing, or one of 3 or 4 others.

Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/307545/EN-US/?

It's easier if you use BartPE or put the drive in another machine as a secondary drive and boot from a different drive.

If you give the STOP code like cluberti asked we can tell you exactly what the problem is.

Also, have you tried "Last Known Good"?
