Have you been cleaning the machine recently? It looks like a randomized malware name.

Here's a better google search for your error. Use the error codes. http://www.google.com/search?q=0xc0000135&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7DKUS

Apparently you need to install the MS .NET framework.

But, having said that, most of the time I get blue screens, it's a memory stick that has started to go. If your computer starts BSODing randomly, go get memtest on a floppy and test your ram.

but thats the thing, i cant even get back into windows anymore

Then it's all guesswork with the RAM. You've got more than one stick, you can just swap them out physically until the error stops appearing.

hmmm i dont think so

Obviously this isn't your only computer then since you're here. Go download memtest to a bootable floppy. Boot to the floppy and test your RAM. Or, as above, test one stick at a time if you have more than one.

The quickest way to identify if it's the memory is try taking out all but one memory dimm and try booting then. If it's still the same issue then try the other memory dimm. (and again if you have more than two)

Are you also unable to boot into safe mode?

If so your best bet is to use bartpe or UBCD which is essentially a heavilly modified bartpe. However it requires a bit of technical knowledge, access to a windows cd and a working windows installation to create it.

Using bartpe I would typically remove any nasties from the partition, use regeditpe to get rid of any nasty registry startup entries and also use hijackthis.

Guess it all depends on how knowledgeable/confident you are on such things.
