Welcome to the partitioning world. You shouldn't share one partition for 2 OS's on seperate partitions. Windows creates 3 partitions for every OS installed (Boot, EXT, and SWAP). The reason why your computer is so slow is because you have cut your hard drive up into ribbons. You have at least 8 partitions on one drive. Change one thing and you could screw the whole drive to pieces. Here's a free tip. Buy three hard drives..and have Vista on One, XP on Two, and that media drive be Three. No partitions, boot menus are a snap, and you aren't using one drive to power two OS's and a media drive.

straightforward fault looking practise. attempt to emilinate as much as achievable, so: As you initially basically decide to get BIOS and post working, disconnect each and all of the pointless products. At this point, connect basically: The PSU to the motherboard confirm you have some ram on the motherboard. A pics card A keyboard. the indoors speaker potential up, Do you get the conventional beep(s)? or any beeps? If the beeps are no longer customary, try commerce ram. Did the lights fixtures flash on your keyboard as customary? If no longer, try an decision keyboard. Did you get any demonstrate? If no longer, try an decision pics card, then try yet another visual demonstrate unit. If those do no longer variety it, you have a issue with your motherboard. try a sparkling battery and BIOS reset before changing your motherboard and CPU. If the computer potential up and gives you the conventional monitors, change off and upload the different hardware, one merchandise at a time, and retest each and every time till you get a failure. The final merchandise loaded is in all probability the reason.

It looks like one of your startups is causing software conflict. While in SAFE mode, try disabling all in msconfig (Run msconfig). Then enable one at a time to isolate the troublesome startup.

Try reinstalling that troublesome startup while all the rest of startups are disabled.

sounds like one of the OS's or both need to be reloaded and if it is failing on the burn in test, you may need reload the both, when running a dual boot system, even if you are loading into safe mode.

Could be a problem with device drivers , hardware or software . This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html
