Have a read here A Stop: 0xc000026C or Stop: 0xc0000221 "Unable to Load Device Driver" Error Occurs When You Start Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315241)

Am i right in saying it does this under windows XP and Windows 7 (both OS give you BSOD (blue screen of death)

Yes there is is such a thing as "white screen of death". Have a read of this White screen of death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_screen_of_death)
If you are not savy with computers the easiest solution is to reinstall the system and save loads of time. If you have data worth keeping then connect the drive in an other computer as a slave and take your data out and then do a clean install by formatting and partitioning the hard drive. Good luck!

eh? does this mean you've tried and it didn't work?

either way, get the disk and follow this guide : How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install (http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm)
