In many cases this error has been generated by faulty RAM memory. So if you have just upgraded your computer with some new memory and you started getting this error then I would remove them and see if the error goes away.

There are 2 things you can still try:

1) create (using another PC), a boot CD (preferably BartPE or UBCD4Win). Make sure the boot order in your bios (ie press “del” or “F2″ soon after the PC starts) shows that the PC will boot from CD before the hard disk.

Once UBCD4Win boots, you can try scanning the hard drive for infections… this might make your system usable enough to be able to do a scan from safe mode (safe mode: press “F8″ while system is starting).

2) take out your Hard Drive, and connected to a system that you know works (and has virus/spyware protection).

From this second system, scan your infected drive (it will probably appear as drive “E:” or some drive letter other than C: ).

Again, this should make your system stable enough to be able to run in safe mode, and do a good scan with defender and/or antivir
