Erm, not unless you throw us a bit of a bone about the circumstances of the
error, and indeed your system. We're not psychic you know.

well I've done nothing out of the ordinary on the pc. Just switched it on
and BOOM! (not literally) it ain't working just the message.
Windows ME
Abit kr7a-raid
512RAM
xp1600+ cpu
Radeon 9600 Pro
Soundblaster Audigy.

Anything else??

Registry stuff.. Can be bad memory, damaged harddrive, overclocked
cpu, fan failure and of course windows itself. And although i like the
last one best, my guess its bad memory, if its not older than 1 year.
