Windows XP startup error

I have a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop with Windows XP and BIOS Revision A16.

When I turn on the computer, the Dell startup logo comes up but then a message occurs, saying that windows did not start successfully, and I am given several options of configurations to choose, including the last good configuration. If I let the countdown run out on this screen, the Windows XP logo comes up, but this then goes to a blue screen that tells me "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. An attempt was made to write to read-only memory." It suggests that I disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing, and use Safe Mode to remove or disable components. At the bottom of the screen, the follow tech information is listed:

*** STOP: 0x000000BE (0xAC30BFA9, 0x0A039860, 0xF89554D4, 0X0000000E)

I was able to access the BIOS menu, but I didn't find any reference to caching and shadowing options, or even an option to just restore the computer to factory settings. When I tried to select the Safe Mode on the initial configuration screen, I had scrolling file names come up across the screen; they all begin with:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS and then a file name.

From this, it takes me back to the blue screen described above.

How can I possibly fix this?? I cannot even get past the blue screen to my desktop or any programs to remove them! (Windows XP does not start up at all, I am stuck at the blue screen.)

 

There are about twenty or more different file names that scroll down, all ending in ".sys ". They include: Ntfs.sys, NDIS.sys, Mup.sys, and agp440.sys.
