BSOD when booting, even in safe mode.
Hi, I am trying to fix a problem with a laptop that gets BSOD when booting. This happens every time during the boot process just and never makes it to the desktop. I have tried with normal boot and the various safe mode boots and still it happens.
The error code that comes up on the BSOD is :
Fatal System Error
Stop: c000021a
0x00000000 (0xc0000034 0x00180748)
I am unable to post more details or crash logs as I can't make it into the desktop. I have tried the startup repair option from the Windows dvd but this didn't do anything. I then tried system restore which also didn't have any success.
I accessed the command prompt using my Windows dvd and tried to run sfc but that wouldn't run and gave me a message about a pending repair and the system needs restarting.
I would appreciate any advice on this rather annoying problem.
Thanks.
