When I start up my computer this message appears:

Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer

Press Any Key to Continue

but when i press a key it jus freezes. It loads up in safe mode just fine, but this happens when i try to boot up normally.

This is normally caused by a hardware problem. Sometimes it's an ACPI problem or an IRQ conflict. Was your computer working previously? If so, what do YOU think caused the problem?
