read this and give the rest of the error message, so we can find out which driver is causing the problem.
================
then I want you to run the recovery console, it is better to do it outside the windows environment, but it can be done within
go to start, run, type in cmd
in cmd prompt type in chkdsk c: /r and press enter
type Y for yes press enter
type exit, press enter, restart pc, and let finish, this can be a lengthy process depending on the size of the harddrive
if any errors are found, run again until no errors are found

below are instructions to burn a Hiren's boot cd from a working pc, and ensure it is bootable.
Courtesy of Jose Ibarra:
Anywho, to make a Hiren's boot CD, do this:
I am going to recommend you use Hiren's boot CD (it will also go on a USB drive).
This is good for you because it has many more tools on it that on the XP Recovery Console CD, does not care about your Administrator passwords and you will not have to futz around in your BIOS if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren's can deal with that.
You will have a whole bunch of cool tools that you don't have in the XP Recovery Console... a registry editor, password resetter, and a desktop that looks like Windows XP so you will feel comfortable maneuvering.
You can also easily copy your personal data (documents, images, music.) to an external drive.
From a working system, first download Hiren's Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ (look near the bottom of the page, do not click on any ads).
http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/
Instructions
Unzip the Hiren's to some folder where you can find it. There is a Hiren's.BootCD..iso in there that you are going to need next.
Hiren's has instructions to make a bootable USB that you can use, but it requires you to first burn the .iso to a CD and some other steps, so I suggest another way...
Download RUFUS 1.20 from here (read some stuff on the page so you can know more about it):

I will caution you to be careful that you don't accidentally format any of your hard drives - be sure your USB stick is in and know what the drive letter is! This part always makes me a little nervous, so be careful.
Launch RUFUS and all the defaults should be okay, for the Device, choose your USB drive letter, Quick format, FAT32, label it if you want to and in the Format options box, click the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open. Navigate that dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren's.BootCD.15.iso that you unzipped earlier and the box should change to say ISO image (RUFUS understands the Hiren's ISO file).
Double check you have the right Device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) Click Start, acknowledge the warning and let it finish (it will take a little while) as it copies the files. The Hiren's ISO is also good size.
When RUFUS is done, it will say 'DONE' in the bottom.
Put the USB stick in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and press whatever key you need to press to get to a boot menu where you can select the USB as the first boot device (that is F11 for me). If you don't see a boot menu choice, you will have to adjust your BIOS to boot from the USB first instead of the HDD.
When the Hiren's menu comes up, choose the Mini XP Mode and it will start loading (slowly from a USB drive) and eventually you should see a Windowsy looking desktop. You should recognize that part and feel comfortable, but it is not your desktop - it is the Hiren's desktop!
Remember: You did not boot on your hard disk - you booted into the Hiren's desktop

you want to run with the /r parameter
chkdsk c: /r there will be five stages.
if you are doing this through windows, error checking, then check both boxes here
go to my computer, right click on local disk and choose properties, choose tools, choose error checking.

did you install anything or remove anything prior to this error?
either, if you run through Hiren's the message will stay on the screen
if you run through windows, you will have to look in event viewer, as described earlier.
---------------------
Also look in device manager for any warnings. ( right click my computer in safe mode, choose manage, choose device manager.)

if checkdisk finds and fixes any errors, then run again until no errors are found.
do not worry about security discriptors, just see if any errors are found.
-----------------once check disk is clean
try to boot normally, What happens? if you can see what says is causing the issue, if you still get a blue screen, 7E is a driver issue

do a clean boot

this will tell us if it is a start up program that is causing the blue screen.
do not bother with the guided help, most of the time it will not install, just go straight to method 2.
