Talking Recovery consol loads to bsod.

hi guys.

I got a big one here, i think. Ok I have a laptop.

Hp Compact 6530b, loaded with windows Xp pro.

...
Last thing done to it?
Was networking it up at home, and having trouble when I noticed that I could change it from Dc to a workgroup, (to see if this could help), I tried it. So of course I lost my user account.

I freaked here!!! after an hour of freaking out (Need my e-mail back) i thought of restore!!

So I restored it to 3 days ago. booted, all was back as it should. Ya!! I thought. the next day I saw that the battary was drained so I pluged her in, booted...

BSOD "stop 00007b"


rebooted hit f8 last known good= bsod
safe mode= bsod
safe+ command prompts = bsod
vga mode= bsod.
all options =bsod

I got a windows xp cd booted it. It loaded the files but at "starting windows" =bsod.

I now am in a total panic!!!


What can I try now??!!

thank you.

Update:

Hi again,

I ran spinrite and memtest, both had no errors. I also got my hands on a Cd boot OS "Knoppix".
It loads a ubantu os to memory it seems to of worked. I did not play too much in that OS, not familiar with it.

I wanted it to see if there was a hardware or software issue here. I think its a software problem, but then why is the windows CD not working???
