Hello there,

Not sure if I am going about submitting a question in the right way, but
here goes.


My PC has broken down. Out of the blue it has decided to die on me with the
following symptoms:

After booting up fine, it tries to load up the O/S (XP) but then the loading
screen disappears, the tower emits a strange growling noise, a blue screen
of death flashes up momentarily, and then the thing reboots. It does this in
a continual loop. With some cunning use of a digital camera, I managed to
record what the BSOD says:

STOP: c000021a (Fatal System Error)
The Seesion Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly
with a status of 0 x 000026c (0 x 00000000 0 x 00000000)
The system has been shut down.



I have no idea what any of this means, and whether it can be fixed or how I
might go about fixing it. I hope someone might be able to help me in my time
of need!

All the best,

Jim Murphy
