Re: BSOD pause


Bruce, thank you for your response. My system is in a complete loop, i
have no opportunity to get into Windows to discover the Event Logs.

I have however, taken a pic of the screen and the error code is
c0000221. It isnt really that clear however it also mentions bad image
checksum.

The file kernel32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not
match the computed checksum.

This is most of what it says, any ideas?

There's no way to "pause" the reboot at the blue screen without first

getting into Windows to set the option for the boot to halt at the
error. Have you tried booting into Safe Mode?

To get started troubleshooting the cause of your problems, we'll
need to learn what specific errors are occurring and being recorded.

To get the error message from the blue screen (a.k.a. the BSOD --
Blue Screen of Death), you'll need to turn off WinXP's automatic
reboot "featu" Right-click My Computer Properties Advanced
Startup and Recovery Uncheck "Automatically restart." The next time
your PC crashes, you'll be left with a blue screen full of memory
addresses and other seeming gibberish. The top 2 or 3 lines of this
screen will contain information that can help solve your problem.
Carefully write down these lines and post the exact text back here.
Hopefully, one of us will be able to provide some insight.

Additionally, you should check your Event Logs to see if they can
shed any light on the matter, To do so, Right-click My Computer
Manage Event Viewer System and Application. Record the specifics
of any red-flagged error messages and post the exact text back here.
Again, hopefully, one of us will be able to provide some insight.
