Usually the C24 Stop error is registry corruption, I have seen this a few times, if you have a backup of your Software Hive you can problem boot to a new partition and replace the old one, with the backup and point back to affected system and boot successful. If you don't want to go through that pain. Do a standard build, don't add to domain and then restore from tape accordingly.

I'm not quite sure what went wrong--the hardware seems to be okay. But there was some sort of corruption in the RAID array and the OS gives a stop 0x00000024 every time it goes to boot. A fresh OS install won't be too painful, because this server was only a DC/DHCP/DNS server. But my question is this... When I reinstall, should I give the server the same name it had before? Or will that confuse Active Directory? And if I give it a different name, how do I remove all references to the old server name from AD? Just wondering what best practices are. Amazingly, I've never had to do this before in my years as a sysadmin. Just lucky, I guess!
