Windows XP64 Hangs While Booting at acpitabl.dat

[Guest]

I've been running XP64 since November of 2005. Every once in a while, my PC
would hang during boot. The splash screen would appear and after my graphics
card fan slowed down, the blue loading bar would freeze with the HD light on.
If I left it like this it would eventually throw a Disk Boot error. Normally,
I would just restart and everything would be fine.

Yesterday before I left for work I decided to shut the machine down because
of some recent small power outages we've been experiencing in the area. When
I came home I tried to fire the machine up and it hung, I then was able to
enter safe mode and asked the PC to run a scandisk on the next boot. When I
rebooted it hung again. So I tried to re-enter safe mode and now the machine
locks up at acpitabl.dat.

I have a recovery disc but I was afraid of using the F2 auto recovery for
fear of loosing all of my data. I entered the recovery console and disabled
my virus protection and anything else not related to Windows without any
luck.

Any help would be appreciated...

There is an x64 newsgroup: microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general. This
one deals with the 32bit OS.

if you are still reading here.

googling for the error, over clocking is mentioned several times.

one person had memory stick problems, several mother board problems.
might google your self for the error acpitabl.dat and see\what you think.
