dsl won't boot on Dell D830

When I try to boot in "failsafe" mode I end up with a screen containing
kevewtd has not started
Bad EIP value
EIP=00000000
*pde=0000
and a bunch of other stuff
most other boot modes end with "black" screen.
a few end with with register dumps
none more interesting (to me) than the failsafe boot
Thanks for any help.

Seems like a hardware problem. Have you tried booting any other Operating Systems? It seems likely that they won't boot either.
Try reseating, or swapping out, the RAM. Failing that, perhaps also the CPU if it is worth the trouble of dismantling the laptop.
