Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Oh my gosh, I just found this forum and I am so glad [but sorry for you also]
to know that I'm not alone.

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

After my computer automatically downloaded and installed KB925902 at
midnight of 4/3, it also automatically rebooted and crashed. Basically it
completes the BIOS tests sucessfully and hangs up before even getting to a
Windows screen. There is no option to boot into Safe Mode or the Last Known
Good Configuration.

Microsoft was absolutely no help. I tried everything from repairing the
installation to doing fixboot in Recovery Console. I even tried a parallel
installation without success. I finally had to reformat the drive and
reinstall from the CD. That was today.

To add insult to injury, I reinstalled Windows, got all my virus protection
loaded, [had not done any windows updates yet], downloaded and installed IE7
and upon reboot the same thing happened again.

You should note that my drive is only 2 months old, I have been running my
system successfully for the past two months. I've also checked out all of my
hardware and done a comprehensive diagnostic check on the hard drive.

Microsoft is clueless so don't waste your time spending hours on the phone
with them.

If anyone out there knows what is happening, I'd love to get some insight
into the problem.

Thanks for listening to my rant :-)......time to reformat again.

There is no 64bit edition of Windows XP Home. You mean your system is 64 bit capable maybe.

Also which Update did you install that seems to cause this issue for you. Can you boot to Safe mode

So every time I start up my computer, it starts to initialize windows, and
then the screen goes black, and the computer restarts. when I disable the
automatic restart, this message appears:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly
with a status of 0xc000026c (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down

As I said, this only started happening since I accepted the most recent
Windows Automatic Update on or around April 3rd 2007. I'm running Windows XP
x64 Home Ed. How can I reverse what you did to my PC if I can't even get it
started? RSVP ASAP
