I recently got hit with a stop error that I am having
difficulty resolving. The error I am currently stuck with
is a stop error as windows is loading reading
Session3_initialization_error. In the few boots before
recieving this error, i recieved a few others, including
Unknown Hard Error. The other stop errors seemed random,
and twice I got a Floppy error, before my system decided
to settle on this error, which i now get every boot.
Initially I thought my processor had gone, but I have
replaced it and still recieve the same error. My hard
drive is still browseable via the command prompt, and
tests alright with my Samsung hdd utiltiy (Samsung HDD).
I made no hardware changes prior to this happening. The
lsat major change was an upgrade to IE 5.5, which seemed
to work for a few hours before my computer rebooted itself
and started throwing up the stop errors. Any help would
be GREATLY appreciated, and if any more info is needed
please let me know. Thanks.
 
I wanted to add to my original post, 1, the error is
Session3_Initialization_Failed and returns code
xc000012f cant find anything on this through microsoft
support

Also, when i try and boot from floppy, i get Unexpected
Kernel Mode Trap x0000007f

other symptoms include:
monitor reports "Out of Range" occaisionally

I'm running a Radeon VE, which hasnt been causing any
problems, and a Princeton 15" LCD monitor

I've tried swapping RAM with no luck, and both of my
128MB sticks work (together) in the machine i am currently
working from

I suspect my motherboard had died (its about 6 yrs old
now) but would really like some additional input thanks
