Well then what do you mean? You ran the full dxdiag and all your video graphics check out? What version of DirectX are you running? When your system crashes what programs crash? Video games? Do you have any graphics software that does run?

To: BigDogBigFeet anything that is aanimated unless it repets dosn't work like Anim8tor or worm (the game).
To: MattTechster I have the install CD but it dosn't help to reinstall it (ive tryed like 5 times).

CHKDSK /P fixes 95% of all Windows XP boot problems in my experience. It is run from the Recovery Console as described in some of the other steps. Run CHKDSK /P first, then reboot and hope for Windows. If it blue screens again, go back into the Recovery Console and try the "in place upgrade" as described. If you find there is no OS found to "upgrade", reboot, back into the recovery console, and then run BOOTCFG /ADD or /REBUILD, and name the XP install if found. If BOOTCFG /REBUILD wont finish, slave the hard drive in another system and run a full disk check from within Windows. After all 5 tests complete, backup your data just in case, and reinstall HDD in the original PC. Go through the original steps again that I mentioned and oftentimes the XP install will show up for the "in place upgrade". If no luck, well you just backed up, so blow it out and start over. Trust me, this is the way to go.

I agree with yrag's solution. It's a graphics card driver problem.
