I have been getting the blue screen on windows startup with the error: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x82F3E718, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000). I read a couple forums telling me to restart with the install CD. I've done this, but the proper prompts do not come up. So, I was told to access the BIOS to set it up to run the CD before harddrive. I read the instructions on how to acces the BIOS that were linked in a different thread, but it is not allowing to access the BIOS. How do I get to the BIOS to allow it to run the install CD?1 person needs an answerI do too
