When I start up my desktop I get a blue screent hat says Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer. System halted.
But, no matter hwo much I restart it still does it. :(

OMG he has a serious point except run a bootable copy of linux first to recover your files, also are you using XP? If you are you can roll back the system using the XP CD.

Is there any chance that you mabye have a virus?
You could also try putting your computer in safe mode, and run all your scans. Surface and cluster scans are usually helpful when that sort of thing happens. I know it helped me with my old computer.
