Can you boot in Safe Mode? That's our best route.

Of the many types of Fatal Exception Errors, a Fatal Exception Error 0D is a
General Protection Fault. A program has been corrupted in memory. Most
often, it is caused by outdated or damaged video drivers, outdated
multimedia software, or physically damaged RAM. However, these are not the
only causes. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be obscure because *any* fatal
exception condition not covered by any of the other 17 processor exception
categories will be called a *general* protection fault. The specific
scenario and specific error message references should be consulted to help
identify the specific problem.
