CPU will not boot . . .

It started with my CPU constantly rebooting every 20 - 30 minutes. I tried to do a System Recovery and now all the computer will do is boot to a screen with the following display and stop:

\windows\system\vgaoem.fon\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys

What can I do to get my computer running again?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

You are right about the "missing or corrupt file" PeteC, and thanks for your reply.

This is not my PC, it belongs to a lady that I work with. She brought it in and I now have it set up. The Missing or Corrupt file is:

System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys


The PC will not enter System Restore. It just goes back to the above message.

If you try to do System Recovery you get this:

WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys couldn't be opened


I copied the ntfs.sys file from a working PC onto a floppy and then copied it over the existing ntfs.sys "corrupted" file on the problematic PC. I am now running System Recovery and it is at 49% with no problems so far (well past the point of where the "couldn't be opened" message appeared before).

However, when I first tried to boot it up, a new message appeared (before I began the System Recovery process) which (like an idiot) I did not write down. It said something about the dll's. If the problem recurs I will post it, but I am hopeful that the System Recovery will work this time - 71% and still going <fingers crossed>.
