windows xp pro bluescreen error 0x0000008E and SFC /Scannow errors

Hello,
I'm trouble shooting an XP Pro box that bluescreens on startup constantly with an 0x08E error.
I have tested the ram....ok.
I have uninstalled the video drivers....still the same bluescreen after reboot.
I have tried another video card with and without drivers...still the same bluescreen.
I have searched for the Backdoor.Rustock.B Rootkit...nothing found.

I then tried to run in safe mode in the command prompt: sft/ Scannow
I got the following error:
scanonce I get the same error message
0x0000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable]

To troubleshoot this error I have tried sfc /revert and it hasn't helped.

Are these two issues related?
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

At what point in the startup does it tank?

And have you tested the HDD?

Ultimate Boot CD - Overview

I would double check the HDD with the Manufacturer's util on the UBCD....

Reg Safe Mode work?

Can you post the Minidump file which can be located in C:\Windows\Minidump folder. I am suspecting the problem with the OS if not then problem with the motherboard.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

I have actually been trouble shooting with the UBCD4Win.com Boot CD. I have found a few root kits and trojans that the locally installed virus software didn't detect.

Now i'm having trouble getting rid of a root kit that Super Anti Spyware has labled: "Rootkit.Unclassified/USBHubB. The others have been erased.

I guess I now have to open a different post for this issue.

Thank you both for your suggestions.
