dos mem corrupt

My machine's not coming out the boot sequence in either safe or normal
or anything, XP Pro, SP2, Sempron 3400, 2 gig mem, Asus, Sata, erm...
I try to run micro-scope diagnostics on it and can't as locks with the
run-time error r6003 - divide by 0
message below it suggests
PANIC MCB chain corrupted.

The drive's ok it passes chkdsk (I set it before it got this bad, I
could get into safe mode before I ran chkdsk, oddly) and it passes
memtest with flying colours. I have a feeling the machine got messed
up by the heat we had the other day.

Any assistance gratefully received.

This is the third place you've multiposted this, when I had already given
you answers and we had a dialog going elsewhere. According to this post,
you have not tried the things I suggested. I don't see any additions to
that original thread, in any case.

Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:

Just wipe it, you mean?

What about the recovery console option? No opinions on that?

This is a windup, right?

Ah no, we used the repair function in the end. I'll say more in the
other thread. Why'd you think this is a windup?
