Just do a Google search for hal.dll
There are lots of suggestions on how to fix this problem.
This one seems pretty informative:

However, keep in mind that this error is sometimes not telling you what is wrong.
Computers are like little kids .. they know they don't feel good, they just have a hard time telling you what is wrong with them.
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is not only the file hal.dll, but also what Windows does with it when it boots.
Replacing the hal.dll may not fix the problem, but it is the first place to start.
Even though the error message refers to a single file, it may be caused by a failing hard drive, or a corrupted install of Windows.
If replacing the file does not fix the problem, you may need to reinstall Windows.
If this fails, you may need a new hard drive.
But take it one step at a time. There are lots of helpful sites in the Google search for hal.dll
