At the rate I'm reformatting my single drive, I have a feeling it won't reach half its rated MTBF. Reformatting is the only remedy I know each time my system crash (because I have no way to reboot it, not even Safe Modes).
Just now, I have a fresh reinstall of XP Home, coz a while ago when I turned on my PC and it crashed (for the nth time), this time it reads:
1st event:
STOP: c000021a (Fatal System Error)
The Windows Logon process system terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0X 00000080 (ox00000000 ox00000000).
The system has been shutdown
2nd Event:
Upon restart, it booted all right, but there's the dialog box which reads:
ashDisp.exe - Entry Point Not Found.
The procedure entry point dep-sec Get Public Securitq could not be located in the dynamic link library asw.CmnOs.dll
3rd Event:
Upon another restart, it booted to Windows all right, but everything froze and no response!
So I reformatted and reinstalled o/s. It was a clean reinstall. I have to post this problem now because I have a feeling this PC will crash again. (Note: I have posted an earlier related BSOD problem under Miscellaneous Software and Utilities forum (titled "%systemroot%/system32/ dumprep 0 -k pls see other remedies I've done already)...as usual, it crashed afterwards.
Can anyone tell what's happening? BTW, problems appear only when I go online. I routinely download Avast Home and Firefox.
