I keep getting the blue screen of death, followed by startups that tell me
that the c:windows/system file cannot be found - I've reformatted the
computer using the installation cd to boot from - i just can't figure this
out - please help!!!!
 
If you restored from backup your same old errors, that
could explain why your still getting this error.

If yco can boot up. Open an internet connection. Open up
event viewer and check for red colored events that relate
to time of this error. Select microsoft link and reply
yes. Maybe that will help you or you can paste that here
for someone to help.

I would also run error checking. Need help? Open up help
and support and search for "error checking"

If error checking is'nt hardware related:

I noticed you didn't include virus and spyware scans for
those free downloads to help with everything they promise
but don't tell you about startup programs and registry
items that fool with your pc.

If you don't have virus protection, Symantec test your
computer's exposer to online threats.

If you don't have reliable spyware removal, you can get
it with spybot free at :

I suggest you run the spybot scan. It will run awhile.
WHen finished ,clean recommended. Some entries will be in
memory. The program ask if you would like to fix at next
boot up. Reply yes

It has an automatic backup so you can restore fixes.

You'll also need to remove startup registry items also.
Highjackthis is available free at:

They can help you with interpreting logs. Just follow
their instructions. You can wait for their interpretation
or you can look for 04 startup entries. I suggest you
delete any software startup thats not store bought
software.
