You don't have any Restore or Operating System discs for your laptop? You're only hope then is that the manufacturer can send replacements to you.

By tapping F8 repeatedly as your system boots, you can attempt to get into Safe Mode and try a System Restore. If you can't do that, you're kinda SOL until you can get a restore disc or Operating System disc.

MS doesn't gives system restore/windows downloads. Your only hope is to use the disk that comes with manufacture, if they don't take the laptop to them.

Sounds like either bad RAM or bad sectors on your HDD....to check for bad sectors and fix them boot from a XP cd and run CHKDSK /R in the recovery console.
