error code 0x000000ed(0x8236ce30, 0xc0000006, 0x00000000, 0x000000

[MSFT]

I am using Windows XP on Dell dimension 3000. Yesterday my kid of playing some online games on this system, and he also download few of them. Since then something went wrong and am getting Blue Screens continuously with “Stop Error Code: 0x000000ed(0x8236ce30, 0xc0000006, 0x00000000, 0x000000.”

Computer restarts in every 5 to 7 minutes with BSOD. I tried booting into Safe Mode but it is not allowing me to select any option from the Boot Menu. Is there any way to fix this problem with reformatting Windows as I have several important stored on the same.

Please help.

As per your explanation, there could be two reasons behind this problem. First, either he might have downloaded some Virus or Malware who has crashed the system. And second, he might have installed some incompatible games or apps that resulted in this problem. I know you said you are able to use any options from Boot Menu, but try if you are able to access the “command prompt” option from there. Because running the following command will help you to restore your system which can prevent reformatting: Here is the command:

scanreg /restore.
