Hi, Last week my PC suddenly crashed. Rebooting the PC led to the blue
screen STOP error message:

STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203,0x873662B8,0xC0000102,0x00000000)

This screen appears every time I reboot, whether I try to go into Safe
Mode, Last Known Good Configuration etc. I have been searching the web
for potential fixes / better understanding of what is causing the
problem. I have found various suggestions like running CHKDSK,
disabling anti-virus software etc. However, my problem is that I do not
know how I can do this since I cannot get past the blue STOP screen....
I am sure that this is a stupid question, but is there a way to go
direct to the DOS command line to run eg. CHKDSK on start-up ??

My PC is a Dell Dimension 8300 running Windows XP Home with SP2 etc.

Thanks for any assistance
Peter
