help with a kernel stack error!

[silent]

hi

this is doing my head in.

old acer SFF pc, fresh install of XP pro and all the drivers. onboard GPU. i get this error:

kernel stack inpage error STOP: 0x00000077 (0xc000000e, 0xc000000e, 0x00000000, 0x42692000)

is it hardware related, freezes up in windows and then blue screens. fresh drivers too.

any ideas, google or MS help no good.

A quick google told me that it's either a problem with the hard drive (impending failure or corrupted data) or a virus (probably a boot sector virus since the information I was able to obtain requires an anti-virus that can scan the MBR).

that's my initial thoughts as i reinstalled everything and it keeps doing it, getting worse. i am going to swap the drive for one of my velociraptors if that works in it to test it.
