About a week ago I was burning a cd for a friend and my computer turned off. I thought maybe I knocked the power cord out or some other power related problem. I checked and made sure the connections were fine and restarted my pc. It got to the XP loading screen, ran scandisk and then continued booting. Right after scandisk it flash a blue screen and restarted. It did this constantly. Well I gave up for a week until I could get an XP cd. I ran Recovery Console and it asked what instalation Id like to boot (dont Know why I only have one OS...) and it tried to boot and showed this stop error:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[some filler text about how to solve the problem...]

***Stop: 0x0000000A (0x0A27000D, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x801C63C0)

Id tried to find some support around the net. Found some similiar problems which said to run Recovery Console and copy over a new kernel32.dll but I cant get that far in Recovery Console since it just shows the stop error.

Does anyone have any Idea how to fix this? I've been considering just formatting it and installing XP again but I dont wanna get a different product key thats not mine. Its kind of scares me...

Well thanks for your help.
