Everytime I would try to reload WinXP on my system I would get a blue screen error saying that "the computer shut down to protect my memory" and that I should "check the hard drive controllers and newly installed hard drives" I checked the hard drives and everything and it still gave me that same error. At the end it gave me numbers like

Stop 0x0000007B (0xF898563C, 0x0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

What does that mean?

Check to be sure that your memory and CPU are seated correctly. If they all are, then try taking out one of the sticks of memory your using. Be sure both sticks are compatible, and working. Sometimes(Most of the time) Windows has problems loading because theres not enough memory or the memory in the machine is either bad or not compatible.
