Have you recently added memory or changed the video?  If so, revert back, try the reinstall / updrade, then add the hardware changes back.

Hope this helps.

I have looked in the bios and there are no settings for AHCI, matter of factly there seem to be very few settings that can be changed on this model. I created a bootable xp pro disk with sp 3 but when run on the laptop there isn't any video and I get the same blue screen. This disk works on other computers. Here is the blue screen info STOP:0x0000007b (0xF78D2524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Any help is greatly appreciated.
