Recently, I started getting BSODs more and more frequently. Now, when I try to start up, a blue screen flashes and then the computer reboots and goes into startup repair (which does nothing).
I have disabled automatic reboot so I can see what the blue screen says, which is:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The verification of a KnownDLL failed. system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000020 (0x04af3130 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
I have tried pressing F8 and running last successful configuration - no good.
I have a Dell XPS420. It is about five years old. It was originally Vista but I upgraded to Windows 7 about five months ago. I do not have the Windows disk.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
