HY

so, I have win XP and I always get a blue screen with an error. Sometimes i says I have a hardware problem. memory dump..., sometimes NTFS.SYS
I don't remember the whole thing

I've tried to uninstall windows an instal it again but the same problem, even during the installation. then I've tried Win 2000 Proffesional but the same problem. I've tried to unplug all my hardware, like scanner, printer etc...
what is the problem? how can I get rid of it

The way you explain the problem, Hardware, sometimes ntfs.sys, it looks as if your disk is going. Do you hear funny noises coming from the drive? Clicking noises? What make and partnumber is it, how old?

You can usually download disk-test-programs from the disk manufacturer's site which will allow you to thoroughly test the drive. Any error messages can help determine if the disk is ok or not, and it is often possible you can send the disk in for warranty repairs.

I don't have that problem, my cousin has it. so it's not easy to get that but I'll try, I don't hear any strange noises, everything looks OK but it isn't.

You have Problem with your Hard Disk , your Harddisk may have some badsector.
if you have seagate harddisk format ur harddisk using "diskmanager" software. (Please Do not Perform Quick format).
Or you may use format (full Format) or some other third party software to mark bad cluser.
Then reinstall Windows

could be a problem with the power supply too... you could try to download something like motherboard monitor to check the voltages if it stays booted for long enough, or try a different PSU if you have access to one.
