I have been trying to fix my laptop for almost two weeks and can't figure anything out. I tried to reinstall the OS but i cant even get to Windows before the "blue screen of death" pops up. I tried going at it in "Safe Mode" but it always stops booting when it gets to the:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(o)partition(1)\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys

All I want to do is reinstall Windows can someone help

First Blue Screen Reads:
A problem has been detected and windown has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as catching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select safe mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X80533F7B, 0XF898F140, 0X00000000)




When I enter in safe mode it wont get passed point i mentioned above, and then it goes to another blue screen that reads:


A problem has been detected and windown has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or back up utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical Information

*** STOP: 0X000000023 (0X000E0100, 0XF8A170CC, 0X80533F7B)

Ahuma has a webpage on stop errors.

This really sounds like you have a corrupted hard drive. The 0x000000023 error is a corrupt FAT32 error.
