Blue Screen Help!!!

[XXINXX]

My computer spec is :AMD Athlon 1400, 256mb ram with XP its been running fine since i bought it which was over a year ago, but the other day when i started it up in the morning a black screen appeared before start up which gave me following options

Start in safe mode

Safe mode with Networking

Safe mode ith command prompt

Last known settings that worked

Start windows normally

I chose to start windows normally but after the windows logo came up on screen, A blue screen appeared saying, that windows was shut down to protect my computer from damage, and displayed the following error:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

then it gave me a load of instructions like disable caching in the bios (which I did)

make sure all recently installed hardware and software is installed corectly( I have installed anything new recently, and i can't check my spftware cuz i can't get into my desktop)

I did a directory check on the pc and windows reported that all files and folders were o.k.

at the bottom of the blue screen it said:

technical information;

xxx stop 0*00000d1( a load or more number)

xxx fdisk.sys - address ( aload of more numbers)
xxx fdisk.sys - address (a load of more numbers)

Can some one please help I can't fix it myself!!

p.s. i tried starting it in all the other options like safe mode and safe mode with networking, i still end up at that blue screen
