Hey, this is my first time on these forums, so hey everyone.
now to the point.
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-Address A9037976 base at A9006000, datestamp 48ed1e13

and it had other writings that had instructions i tried, but no results.
I am currently running it in safe mode with networking so i could access the net.
I have windows vista premium
acer laptop
intel core 2 duo processor T6400 (2 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2mb L2 cache)
nvidia geforce G105M turbocache
4GB DDR3
320GB HDD

can anyone please help me. Thanks

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?

You can do this by following these steps:

Log in the safe mode,

1. Click on Start, then go to Programs and then to Accessories
2. Then Go to System Tools and select System Restore
3. Follow the wizard and try to restore your windows to some previous (but recent) restore point.

Let me know if the above suggestions help or otherwise. Regards
