Hi guys, I'm VERY new here, just signed up in fact. I'm writing from my spare PC as mine just did the weirdest thing.

I had an Avira antivirus warning label come up prompting me for action, but before I could do anything I got a memory dump and an instant reboot.

Since then I cannot boot my computer without getting a blue screen. Safe mode or not it ends up on a blue screen with the ominous display of a capital T and then a small white box. Nothing else.

I'm not sure where to even begin here since I can't boot the system. Thanks in advance for the help.

PC is a Dell Inspiron running Win Xp SP3.

If your spare PC has CD burning software, Google for and download Hirens Boot CD. That includes Mini XP as well as a lot of other useful tools and should allow you to run your malware trackers to deal with whatever messed up your system.
