    Hi,

    I got my replacement motherboard yesterday so I set my new PC up last night and it booted up first time.
    I set about installing the following:
    1. Installed Windows XP Professional
    2. In Windows - formatted one of the harddrives
    3. Installed Windows XP SP2
    4. Installed motherboard drivers using CD-ROM provided
    5. Installed graphics card drives using CD-ROM provided
    6. Updated Windows - Critical/Security updates etc.
    7. Restarted PC
    8. Get to Windows Logo/loading stage then Fatal System Error

    The error reads:
    STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
    The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with status of 0x000026c (0x00000000 0x00000000)
    The system has been shut down.

    Any suggestions or has anyone experienced the same?
