c000021a Fatal error and 0x000000f4 restart

[Voyager]

I have been running Battlefield 1942 Road To Rome for many
months with no problems, I played the game last night. I
used my computer to download some files from various
locations this morning and when I attmpted to play BF1942
today, it caused a shutdown and restart of the machine.
after isolating the cause I found the reason to be
0x0000008e(0xc0000005,0xe1abf231,0xecfc4970,0x00000000.
I downloaded new drivers from NVidia and Turtle Beach and
did a complete virus scan using McAfee Virus Scan Online.
I then retored the computer to a point 3 days ago,
reinstalled BF1942. I now get 0x000000F4
(0X00000003,0X81FC3580,0X81FC3724,0X805ACAC85)right after
the windows XP screen during the 1st reboot attempt, and
then get a C000021 Fatal System Error: 0XC0000005
(0X75E96003,0X0069F1DC). Then I get a normal reboot.
Repeats if I try to run BF1942, can run other programs
such as IE, Excel, Access, Cue Club, Spider Solitare.
I need help, please!

Hi Voyager,

I would boot from XP CD and perform a repair install.
How to repair Windows XP without losing your programs
and data: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
Afterwards, Go to the WindowsUpdate site for everything
under Critical and Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Then update your chipset, sound, video, monitor and other
system drivers. If you want instructions let me know.

Thanks Jimmy!

SOme of the items you mentioned I had tried anf the the
other I did try after your suggestion. To make a long
story short, things went from bad to worst. I started to
get boot problems, as soon as the memory test completed
the computer would shutdown with a blue screen and a
meesage such as 0X0000008E, or 0X00000007. I started
booting from the XP CD to attempt a repair and the repair
of XP took approximately 8 hours to complete, the
computer was slower than an 8088. After the repair was
complete I had to do a shutdown for some reason and
could not get a reboot. The drive light blinks and the CD
light blinks and power is on but the memory test does not
take place and no display on monitor. I assume that my
BIOS was corrupted and that a Virus is in the system even
though McAfee says that it is clean. So I went out and
got a new main board (ASUS A7V8X-X)and installed it,
booted from the CD and did a repair to XP in approx 10
Minutes. All appears normal now. Have not shut down and
rebooted yet????? If I get back up I will let you know.
Again thanks for your assistance!

Glad to help. I had to replace my motherboard recently
as well, so I can certainly feel your pain there. ;-)

Cheers,
Jimmy.

Fatal Error Bf1942 Fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To fix your computer crashing turn all the gaphics to low, the lowest that they can possibly go. if it doesnt crash then mess around with the settings until it suits your graphics card.

BTW alot of people still play BF Vietnam and Redux!!
