I know what some of you are thinking, why is this guy posting this when there
have been so many people asking this question?
My error message is happening in VISTA! (Not XP or 2000) I'm running Vista
Premium Home Edition
Here is a brief summary of what has happened:
1. Working on computer, took a break, came back and found that computer had
rebooted with a BIOS checksum error.
2. Followed the Mobo Manufacturer's instructions to a possible solution
which was disconnect from power, remove all PCI cards, SIMMS, and battery.
Replace all items, and restarted computer.
3. No image.
4. After lookin through Mobo forums, found suggestion to remove 1 SIMM and
move the other to a different slot.
5. Image returns, BIOS starts. Reset system clock and verify all settings,
save and exit.
6. Goes to "Widows did not start (or shut down) properly" screen, no matter
which choice I make it just re-starts the computer.
7. I did manage to get it to boot from the Vista installation disk but
before I gets to the repair screen I get the blue screen with the STOP:
C0000221 Unknown Hard Error\SYSTEMROOT\ SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll error message.
8. Just now I was able to get the Windows Diagnostic Tool to run and it
stated there were Hardware Problems Detected and ended with Oxc0000017
message.
Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?
I would try to contact Microsoft via chat or on the phone directly but some
genius decided that in order to contact them you need your product code which
would be awesome to use if I COULD GET INTO MY COMPUTER TO GET IT!!!
Thanks!
