Stop Error: 0x000000E3

I have an xp, recently everytime I start up my computer, this blue screen pops up saying "A thread tried to release a resource it did not own." even when I try to go on safe mode this pops up. What should I do?

Additional info:

That is a problem with the NTFS file system.

Boot with the XP CD and use the Recovery Console.

At the prompt, type:

chkdsk /p

Did you do a system recovery, or did you run chkdsk /p?

What kind of XP CD is this? Is this a name brand computer?

Press F12 immediately on startup and run system diagnostics. If all your hardware is good, you will probably have to reformat the drive and reinstall everything from scratch.
