Blue Screen of Death Immediately After Hardware Upgrade in Windows XP Pro - November 1, 2010
Recently while upgrading the hardware on a very old Windows XP Pro box, I immediately got a blue screen of death when booting up for the first time. The system would boot fine in safe mode. The message provided was “An attempt was made to execute to non-executable memory.”. The error code was 0X000000FC. The fix for this was to edit the boot.ini file and make the following change. Start->settings->control panel->system->advanced->startup and recovery settings->edit. Change the “/NoExecute=OptIn” to “/NoExecute=alwaysoff”
