Bad Pool Caller Stop Error

XP will not start up. I am receiving a stop error with the following MSG:
***STOP: 0x000000c2 (0x00000043,0xc4a64000,0x00000000,0x00000000)

What does this mean and how can I get my computer working again?

A bad driver or faulty hardware causing your system to crash and turn to a
halt status!.
You need either to start in Safe Mode by tapping the F8 until you get the
boot up options and select "Safe Mode" or "Last Good known config" and grt to
the desktop and troubleshoot from there or by Repair/install the system!.

You may have a bad RAM try to test your RAM by running Memtest by
downloading this tool and unzip it and make a floppy or CD/DVD and run it on

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots.
After that you could do a repair install, and then test.
