Blue Screen 30 seconds after Windows starts Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 7:12 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bill s (7 messages posted) Windows boots up normally then after 30 seconds then gets blue screen Inspiron 530 boots normally then after 30 seconds, then task bar turns white and then i get a blue screen with fatal error C0000145. Rebooted and next error is C000021a. Rebooted again and got D0000144 'unknown hard error'  Safe mode does not work. Is this hardware problem or do i need to reload windows. Did some research and getting mixed reviews. Had some bad trojans that i had to clean just a few days prior, then noticed sound card quit working, and after i restarted is when this occured.
