Hey, this is my first time on these forums, so hey everyone.

story goes like this, i started up my laptop... it runs through the normal process, until i decide i should do some study half way through the start up, so I hold the 'power' button down until it turns off. later i turn it back on, got to the log in part, logged in,, few seconds later it says error BSOD
*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xA9037976, 0x8BB63A20, 0x8BB8371c)

SRTSPL.SYS is related to symantec (i.e. Norton) security suite.

Please follow these steps:

1. Turn on your notebook
2. Once Power on Self Test (POST) is complete (you may see acer logo etc. ) and screen goes blank for a moment start pressing F8.
3. A menu with various boot options will be displayed,
4. Select 'Last Good Known Configuration' and hit enter

If the above doesn't work can you please try to boot into safe mode?
