I have an Dell Optiplex GX280 desktop,with 2.4GHz,40GB,keyboard,mouse that I bought online thru ebay in 2007 but has no installation cd's or windows XP Pro Cd and now I'm getting this blue screen telling me a problem has occurred & either I re-install windows xp pro or disable BIOS memory options like caching or shadowing.
Start machine press F8 repeatedly
If it lets you into Safe Mode then go to Programs, Accesories, System Tools, System Restore and try to roll the machine back a week or so
If that does not work you need to find a buddy with a copy of the software and reinstall providing your machine has the Windows sticker on the back or sides giving you the key code
usb until it boots. PS2 LOOKS LIKE THE ONE ON THE LEFT AND USB IS ON THE RIGHT.

blue screen states a problem occurred windows shut down but i have no windows cd's or a friend with anything on dell optiplex gx280
what is the exact error that you are getting? It might be possible to save your installation without wiping the whole thing.
Does the PC have an XP license on the case, side or back?
if it does, you can borrow a cd from a friend or family and install XP using the license.
