I have not installed new hardware on my dell notebook CPi-A BIOS version A15. WINXP.

Yet I get this blue screen message on start up.

 

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen restart your computer. If this appears again follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this  is a new installation, ask your hardware manufactuer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

IF you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options and then select safe mode

There is no BIOS memory option on this laptop F2 setup interface.  I get the same bluescreen message when I attempt to start in safe mode.

 

 

Please advise.
