help winxp repair install blue screen

I just moved all my hardware into a new casing and when i started up, winxp pro couldn't recognise my SMC 1211 series network card although it could before on the same winxp pro OS.

So i played around with drivers etc and then on one reboot I got

hal.dll missing or corrupted

so i did a search for solutions such as using recovery console to repair the windows installation and then went and typed in recovery console mode

system32\config
ren system system.old
copy c:\windows\repair\system

EXIT

and rebooted but still got hall.dll missing or corrupted

so i tried the winx pro setup cd and went to do a repair installation which rebooted me and launched into the setup/repair screen then immediately i got a blue screen saying

NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS error

tried rebooting several times and it always loads into the setup/repair screen and then immediately the blue screen error above

My system was previously overclocked but brought back to defaults prior to even moving my pc parts into the new case... system is as follows

Pentium 4 1.6A Northwood 512k cache
- Cooljag 565c 70x25mm 6000 rpm fan
- Gigabyte 8SRX SiS 645X chipset
- 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS2700 DDR ram
- 64MB Gainward GF3 Ti200 AGP
- 1.44MB FDD
- 2 x Lian Li RH58 Aluminium tray removable drive bays w/ 2 x 40mm cooling fans
- 80GB Seagate Barracuda IV 7200 RPM on Promise UltraATA100 controller primary master
- 15 GB QUANTUM LM 7200 RPM HDD on Promise UltraATA100 controller secondary master
- Hercules Fortissimo II PCI sound
- Pioneer DVD 16X 106s
- Sony 8x/4x/32x 140E CD-RW
- Just Cooler FC-900L
- PixelView PlayTV Pro FM TV Tuner Card with remote
- SMC 10/100 NIC
- Generic 120W speakers
- Atlas201S Aluminium Mid tower case Topower 520 watt GOLD dual fan PSU
- 2 x sunon 80mm 42cfm fans above PSU
- 1 x sunon 80mm 42cfm fans attached to Zalman fan bracket over PCI slots
- APC BackUPS ES 500VA
- WinXP Pro

I did create a restore point prior to playing around with the drivers and before all my problems came to be, but for the life of me I can't get into winxp just once to restore to that point

Any guidance and help is very much appreciated

 

Ouch.

Bug Check 0x35: NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS.

Try increasing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ServicesLanmanServer\IrpStackSize setting to a number higher than 4 (or whatever it's set to) and see whether the problem goes away.

 

i can't get into windows let alone the registry

hal.dll missing or corrupt is no longer the main problem but the blue screen message saying

NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS error is

i've removed all no essential hardware such as network card, tv tuner card, sound card etc and still when i boot up the computer it goes into windows repair installation mode (i see it's on the install windows step) and then the above error occurs

if it's hardware issue do you think i could pop the drive into another system ?
