No problem
Keep us posted either way
Everything was looking good until I started streaming Hulu. After about 10 minutes the system froze. I could not get to the task manager to kill the process and had to do a cold boot.
Now - I can't get past the starting windows screen - I get this BSOD
I can't start in safe mode either. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
I think my last post got screwed up - I've attached the screen I'm seeing after I get to the Starting Windows screen.
Does your motherboard have an onboard VGA?
Can you connect there?
Tell me,Code:STOP 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED STOP 0xC000021A: WINLOGON_FATAL_ERROR (Changed in Win8 DP SDK v8.0) Usual causes: User-mode device driver, system service, or third-party application, Mismatched system files
(1) If this is a new computer and is under warranty
(2) If anything is overclocked
(3) Since when did this problem start
(4) What were you doing when it started
Yes - there is VGA. The computer is no longer under warranty - it was a replacement from Dell after fighting with them for 2 years. I got it in 2010 with 1 year left on the 3-year warranty.
Nothing is overclocked to the best of my knowledge. The problem started last Wednesday when my machine got a virus. I thought I had cleaned it up with Avast and Microsoft anti-virus, malwarebytes, and advanced system care.
I just disconnected my external Iomega drive and my external monitor (but kept my HD TV connected via HDMI) and the system came on again. I then reconnected my external Syncmaster monitor - no prob. Perhaps I need to also update the Iomega driver?
I'll upload the latest dump info. I'm going to stream some Hulu again to see if the system freezes again. Thanks again!
OK let me know. Just FYI, Advance System Care is a PC wrecker.
Don't update anything
Uninstall Avast antivirus and/or its remnants completely and for the time being use MSE
Make a full scan once updated
Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
Thanks again.
Just turned off Advanced System Care. Uninstalled Avast several days ago. Running full scan using MSE right now. Have attached latest diagnostic files. Thank you again!!!
Not yet - but I haven't started streaming yet. I want to run the full scan first - should take a while. However, the system is beeping intermittently, never a good sign.
Can you explain what you mean by beeping?
And I'll get off in a while, due to different time zones
