So, I have an acer windows xp. When I go to START it up it will go to the acer screen. Then it will go to a menu that says

We apologize for the inconvience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change may have caused this.

Then it gives me four options.

Safe Mode- when pressed it gives a bunch of file names then goes to windows xp's loading screen and then to
Safe mode with networking
Safe mode with COMMAND prompt
Last Knowen Good Configuration
Start windows normally
when all the safe modes are pressed it gives a bunch of file names then goes to windows xp's loading screen and then to a blue screen that tells me that it is checking the c:, then it loads to 100% then it gives me the blue screen of death, then just RESTARTS itself.

When the other two are CLICKED it goes to the loading menu and then the checking of the c: drive, then the BSOD, then restarts. Anyone know what I should do?
Goyman........ When did this start?
Did it start after a recent windows update by any chance ?
How old is the ACER ?
Is it a laptop or DESKTOP ?
