PC rebooting whenever reaches windows logo

[getzcha]

Hi all.

I have a dell dimension PC. Before the problem happened, the system was shut down normally.

On next start-up. once it reaches the window logo, a blue screen appears.

"STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7A5FS24, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"

I reboot again, and the system let me chose to start in safe mode, with networking, with cmd, last know config and normally. I chose all and still it ends up with blue screen.

Next, i put in XP reinstall CD and reboot from CD. I chose the repair the Xp installation which went to completion without error.

However, when it reboot the system after installation, the same problem happens again. It will boot up till windows logo and reboots again. I press F8 and disable the option to reboot system on failure and ends up with same blue screen info as top.

I have a feeling its HDD failure but there's some impt info i would like to salvage. Pls advise any help.

Greatly appreciated.
