Windows xp bsod on login

Since I know how to recreate all those errors you report, I also know what things can cause them to happen and how to fix them. I may not know all the things but I can easily recreate many of them and they all point to XP system files that really are missing or corrupt. The trouble with some of those Microsoft KB articles is that the instructions usually contain the phrase:.

If you reinstalled up to SP2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and the possibly hundreds of updates and rebooted and expected things to work just fine, I think that expectation exceeds reality unless you are really lucky.

If you were to fix those couple errors and have problems later, you would probably always be wondering if you should have just started all over again with your clean install. Somehow, with help from Smittychat :- I think you need to just whack that drive and just reinstall from scratch.

I have never reinstalled XP so I don't remember even how to start! Note that eHow says to press the oh key o to get into system recovery back to factory settings, but that is assuming that your system still has a functional recovery partition on it - and it might not have that anymore:.

ElderK-- Thnks for the replybut--as a full blooded Englishman--I don't need comments on my use of the English language!! When selling or recycling a system, use these free utilities to completely destroy information you do not want found later.

Wipe your hard drive by using specialized software that is designed to government standards and will overwrite your information Active KillDisk and Softpedia DP Wiper are free downloads. If you're comfortable with whom you are selling the system too, then by all means go ahead and do the recovery as you have done. Good luck. FYI --thanks. It would not wipe.

I am happy to sell without further problem--the Disk has been formatted twice and a clean install performed-3 times--doubtful if anyone could get anything off the Disk--even if they wanted to try.

There is nothing of importance on it anywayno sensitive data such as Banking, or Passwords, Business information--whateverI don't use my Computers for such personal matters. Today--turned on --Boot got as far as the Windows Logo--then the black screen appears you normally get just before the Arrow pointer appears but no pointer--sudden BSOD with following "Stop: cxa Fatal System Error The Windows Logon Process System Process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x 0x 0x The system has been shut down.

As I don't have a system, how do I cure the problem anyway? This thread is locked. Then BSOD within seconds of the message. Message reads, The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again.

But when the computer tried to go to the graphic mode it is immediately rebooted. I pressed F8 during boot and tried " Last known good configuration ". No luck. Safe mode do not work too. After that I choose the option to stop on errors to avoid auto restart and I can see the message typical BSOD message. The system has been shut down.
