Only 1 Solution , Go For Genuine Windows ! thats all .... !

Press F8 when the system boots

and from the Windows Boot Menu choose the option that says "Disable automatic restart .....", and proceed to boot. Now when your system crashes you will get a blue screen of death. Here note the error message and the error code and look it up in google or microsoft knowledge base.

Most likely that you need to change your data cable also.

congrates..ur problem is solved.The main cause of such problem is either BAD hard disk or BAD data cable.

And for genuine...why dont you buy starter edition of win XP.They are very cheap.
