I'm getting the following error when I boot up:

STOP: c000021a (fatal system error)
Windows login process terminated unexpectedly with status 0xc0000139
Shut down.

I have read all articles on the internet about this error, as well as on the
microsoft site. I'm not sure anyone really know why the problem happens.
I've heard it is a driver error, MS service pack 2 error, Windows Update
Hotfix error. Different things seem to fix it from easy to very complex.
Nothing has worked for me thus far. I am waiting to hear from Microsoft and
Dell (again) Dell said to update my service pack, and that and everything on
my PC is current. I'm really at a loss.

Anyone had this problem and fixed it? If so please share how you fixed it.
Maybe someone will write in with something that has not been tried yet.

Thanks!
