Can you boot up in "safe mode"? (press f8 while booting up).
Did a quick google on 400dll errors, and it looks like it is probably a software problem. Assuming you can get into safe mode, right click on "my computer" then chose "management" and start up the event viewer. Look around in there for the error reports to see what is causing your crash. |
