Hello, and welcome!

What Windows version are you using?

Did you get an error code or message with that blue screen (aside from the module name ndis.sys)?

[plodr]

Do you see DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ?

ndis.sys refers to your network card or NIC. Have you updated a driver lately?

[satrow]

Yes, more details needed please.

In addition to plodr's comments: networking problems are often triggered by old security software drivers, are your antivirus and firewall (or security suite) softwares recently updated or very old (10+ months)?

How to setup your system to save minidumps < do this please.

@ pwillener: am using xp-home sp3... thank you for the reply sir.
@ ploder: no, i din't see DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL just *** NDISsys - address F73168BA base at F72FE000, Datestamp 48025d03 at bottom... thank you for the reply sir.
@ satrow: thanks i'll try to do the "save minidumps"

@ satrow: i can't do the "save minidumps" - it always stops at the BSOD.

i tried to get into the system repair from xp-home installer but it hangs before it reaches the area where i can chose "repair". i did this before when "ntdlr" was missing.

What firewall and antivirus do you have installed?

The hang happens when booting from the Windows CD (when you try to run Repair)?
