stop errors. BSOD 's 0X20 to 0X2F
Many BSOD 's
have a similar list of causes and suggestions for repair. Below is the
my list of suggestions for diagnostics and repair.
This has been very time
consuming and if you find the information helpful please remember to

Many times an error will occur due to a change in the system. If you
have recently installed new hardware, try removing it. If you have
installed a new software title, you may want to try to remove it. Try
finding an updated version of your software title or driver for your new
hardware from the manufacturer.
Many times this is from a memory error. It could be bad ram or maybe too
much for the system. (remember that 32 bit versions of Windows like less
than 4 Gigs)
If for some reason you can not boot into safe mode or normal mode try
the option of "Last known good configuration".
If that does not work and you have created an ERD (emergency repair
disk) try doing the ERD repair.
If you can not boot the system at all and you have installed new
software recently, you can boot to a live disk that gives you access to
your files and you go to the folder for the new program and rename the
folder to trick Windows into thinking the program is no longer there.
With this last method you may get a Windows boot error while rebooting
the system because the registry still looks for the offending program
but you should be able to get to the desktop.
If you cant get into the system still and its Windows XP, try doing a
system restore from the command prompt with a XP CD "here"
or try the fix with Bart's PE CD "here".
If this fails you can also try some of the utilities found on the
Ultimate boot disk for Windows or UBCD4win. This is a handy live CD that
every technician should have. One of the features I like is the GUI for
doing a system restore. I will soon have an article about how to do this
type of system restore.
If you have Vista you can try using the repair services available from
the f8 function at startup. If you start the computer and tap the f8 key
like you are going to go to safe mode, there is a repair windows feature
now available that can help you repair the Windows startup and also let
you do system restore.
