Download Piriform CCleaner and install it.

Navigate to Registry (On the left) and click Scan for Issues. Then select Fix Selected, back up if you wish but not neccessary.

Reboot and see if that's made any difference.

If not, go into the BIOS on startup and get it to boot from CD before HDD, then insert XP disc and reboot.

Select option to repair the install.

Looks like it doesn't work...and I tried also the second solution that u gave me that one with hdd formatting and a fresh installation of widows...I updated my bios and turned back to previous one and I reset it also by pulling out the battery from the mainboard!any other solutions?

Wow.. very surprised even repairing windows didn't fix - let alone reformat and install..

Must be a hardware issue..

Can you list your specs please?

Could have affected the PSU.


Have you tried using a different one?

Well I would storngly reccommend trying a different PSU.

Even if you don't have one they're very cheap really.
