Sheryl;
My first thought would be bad memory.
(cyclic redundancy check)-
I believe "sym_hisys" is a scsi controller driver (google search)
On the system32 hal.dll read here

If you have two memory modules try them one at a time.
At least reset the memory module(s) in their slots

Subject: [PCBUILD] Start Up / Installation Problems
For the past few weeks everytime I restarted my computer, I would get a
message saying that windows "did not start because file sym_hi.sys is
corrupted." Then i would press enter and windows would start.
I decided to reinstall windows.... at the beginning during copying
installation files an error pops up that says:
An error occured copying file sym_hi.sys to C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\sym_hi.sy_.
-data error (cyclic redundancy check)-
I decided to cancel the setup, but now when I restart my computer i get a
message saying:
windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows root>\system32.hal.dll please re-install a copy of the above file
if i press enter windows will start but weird things keep hapenning like a
physical dump of the memory, and thats hasnt happend on this computer since
i got it 2 years ago
