Win XP Explorer.exe won't load!

Hey,

I have an HP Pavilion a1140n, Pentium 4 Hyper-Threading, 1GB RAM, and a 250 GB hard-drive running WinXP. Here is my issue:

I cannot get explorer to start on the system. I have tried restoring with full reformat only to have explorer work for a few hours then crash again. I have gotten the following error message one time:

The instruction at "0x7c801af1" referenced memory at "0x7c801af1". The memory could not be "written".

I tried running a check disk /f which appears to fix some errors in the file system but not solve my problem.

Here are my log files from Hijackthis and Startuplist. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I ran a Hijackthis:
