Slow boot event log error

[Jason]

Hello

At times when I log into my XP machine it is extremely slow, and when I
look in the event log I see 3 of the following errors. Anyone have any idea
if this is hardware, or not? I get these error on more then one PC

Thanks
J

Try removing un-used programs, cleanup your computer, and defrag it, MAYBE
that will work (it will atleast SPEED it up)!

It sounds like hardware. I did a Google for "Machine Check: Regs, 0" and
got quite a few links. One of the links referenced this MS Knowledge
Base article:

Go ahead and check out some of the links from the Google search to see
if anything sounds like it matches your machine:

If this is an OEM machine (Dell, HP, Sony, etc.) you should give their
tech support a call. Otherwise, you should troubleshoot your processor,
motherboard, and RAM. Depending on your computer skills, taking the
machine to a local professional (if the box isn't OEM) might be the
best course of action.

Doing anything that the poster "ETLCS" suggested is a complete waste of
time in your case.
