Video driver failed to initialize during formatting

[affgomes]

I decided to format my computer as it was quite slow and experiencing some
problems.
Started the process and all was going fine until it asked me to restart the
computer for the next step of the setup. When it restarted, there was the
following error message:

STOP: 0x000000B4 Video driver failed to initialize.

It suggested that I restarted the computer and disables BIOS memory options
such as caching or shadowing. I dont particularly understand what this is but
went on the menu (that you get when you press DEL just after restarting) and
disabled cache L1 and L2 and also the option that referred to shadowing.
Furthermore, I then chose SAFE MODE but unfortunately after showing me the
windows logo, it just shuts off automatically. I have turned different
variations of this, not disabling them and still using Safe mode but am
completely unable to get to setup. Windows just doesnt start... any
suggestions will be welcome!

Thank you in advance

You should only recieve the "option" to restart,otherwise it counts down &
restarts auto.Specifically,unless during the xp install it asks for
specific answer
(networking,etc) do not touch anything,let xp run auto as it will...As far as
disabling,L1 & L2 is processor memory cashe,do not disable,& as far as BIOS
is concerned,set it to advanced or performace at the last page,then edit
normal audio/video memory size etc,save & exit..If all went poorly during xp
set up,at
this early stage,boot to xp cd,install xp,delete partition,create one,let
xp format
& reinstall.
