Are you able to boot it at all now? If so try Safe Mode:
Try booting into Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the
F8 key after your BIOS POST but before Windows starts.
If you persist in getting: "CMOS settings wrong" this is a completely different issue and you may need to open the computer and reset the CMOS.
But if you can get into Safe Mode we could try to get more information such as the exact make and model of the computer. Did Acer supply you with your Ghost Disk? Do you have the manual? Do you see a label on the computer?

As to the dumps/errors: we need all that information.
If you want to try and analyze the XP errors:
Go to
start | search (type in)
.dmp
Note the location of your
.dmp files.
Then:
1) Download and install the
Debugging Tools from Microsoft
2) Download and install this
debugwiz
3) Open the Wiz & Browse to, or paste in the path to, your
.dmp file.
4) After the Wiz creates a Text document attach it back to this thread.
Also: look in your
Event viewer: rt. click
My Computer then click
Manage then
Event Viewer.
Or:
Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or
Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the
system as well as the

X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the
