Greetings.
I was told to post to XPForums with regard to issues that I am having with getting my Windows XP boot disc to get to the installation screen when booting from disc.
I am trying to re-install Windows XP 64-bit over a copy of Linux (I would like to erase-and-reinstall to prepare the computer for a sale). I want to erase everything on the hard drive and just start fresh.
However, when I boot from the Windows XP 64-bit disc, I cannot get to the installation screen, because I receive the following text (partial transcript) on a blue screen:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down
usbhub.sys PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
0x00000050
I have tried switching out the memory. That didn't work.
I tried disconnecting all of my USB hardware and just plugged in an old wired keyboard. That didn't work.
I do not use Windows and so I have no idea what to do or how to use Windows to fix this.
I have only the Windows XP 64-bit disc, which, by the way, used to work a few years ago.
The specifications for this computer are located at:

Also, around the time that I noticed this problem would start happening, I used to be able to display Linux Mint 17 at 1080p on an external monitor, but then I asked Linux Mint to do an update, and a whole bunch of stuff failed, I have no idea why, I just followed something to update it, but anyway since then, 1080p sometimes works, and sometimes does not work.
Also, I just erased the hard drive by booting from a copy of Linux Mint 17.3 from a USB stick, so I know that I can wipe the OS. But now I cannot seem to get output to my monitor via DVI to work. It's just blank. But VGA works, and if I try to connect both, it crashes.
Also, sometimes the computer boots normally, but other times it will not recognize my keyboard or will not show anything on my monitor after the initial Shift-F10 prompt, but then it will work fine when I get to the login screen. These problems just seem to be random.
Also now I'm having problems even getting the computer to boot from the disc. Just that initial stage was working up until this morning, and now all I get is a blank screen.
I tried posting my question to the Microsoft forum, but no one is answering my questions.
What's going on? How do I just get the Windows boot disc to install windows back on my computer, without the usbhub.sys error message? I don't care if I have to erase the hard drive.
