Help Please -- Dump of Physical Memory

I have an inquiry. I cannot load Windows XP onto my computer anymore. Even when trying to run in safe mode i cannot load it. A blue screen pops up that reads as follows:

STOP: c0000218 {registry file failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\system32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log or its alternate
it is corrupt, absent or not writtable....

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical assistance.

After that screen comes up the process just begins over with the reboot screen. I have tried Safe mode and starting it in the last state it was in as it states on that page, but and I can not even start my laptop in any of these.

I did not download anything besides of a picture yesterday from a webpage and I was only online with my email, so I am confused. When I went to bed last night I put the computer in Hibernate Mode and went to bed. When my husband tried turning it on this morning this is what we've gotten.

I have an XP Pavillion laptop. If you need more information, please let me know and I will provide you with the correct information. Thank you in advance.

 

Probably one of your best, if not only, bets:
