bsod on startup, possibly comodo?

Ok, I use XP (sp3), and recently I found a few viruses running around my computer, (with malwarebytes), and I decided that it would probably be a good idea to upgrade my firewall since I had to date been using the standard windows defender. My college requires that I use Mcafee corporate, but I'm not really the biggest fan...anyway, I had heard great things about Comodo Internet Security, so i figured it was about time i upgraded my security. After installing the first time i started to get the BSOD, i assumed it was comodo since its what was what I had just added, but i couldn't uninstall it because it did not show up in add/remove or in the start menu. After looking over their forum it recommended I reinstall in safe mode and then uninstall. This worked just fine. Except now everytime I start in windows it proceeds to BSOD after a few moments of loading the startup programs. It boots fine into safe mode, but i cant use it like normal because it will just BSOD during startup.

After looking on this forum I found the instructions on how to analyze a minidump, but its pointing to an issue with ntkrpamp.exe and i'm really just guessing at how to analyze the whole thing.

I'm not really sure how to proceed, any help you guys(and/or gals) can give would be greatly apreciated. ((if you need more info, I can definately give it, i'm just not sure what you need))

thanks in advance :]

 

In safe mode:right click My Computer>properties>advanced>startup and recovery>and uncheck"automaticaly restart,and you will see the bsod code.

 

ok, so the exact error code is as follows :

"*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xACF9E21D, 0XA9E497E8, 0x000000000)"

as for anti-virus, I had McAfee, Malwarebytes installed when i attempted to get comodo.

 

0x0000008E is almost always a hardware problem. Did you change your hardware recently? If you did, reverse the changes and see if the problem goes away.

Also, memtest. Burn the ISO as an image, boot from the CD, and let it run for eight passes or so.

 

well, i haven't changed any hardware, however I'm fairly sure I have a partially damaged graphics card, but my system was running fine until i attempted to install comodo, and i don't see how that could have caused hardware damage...besides, running in safe mode narrows it down to drivers doesn't it? ((i'm not sure))
