Post subject:  Trouble with Xp. Oh shit moment.

I'm calling out to you guys from an old laptop because my computer is fried
I really hope you guys can help me out. I'm in deep shit.

Well, a certain person in my family decided that it would be a fantastic idea to download the Service pak 3 update for xp, with knowing anything about it.

It didnt work. Infact, it didnt work so well, that I might be in asituation where I might have to reinstall windows Xp as whole, therefore eliminating EVERYTHING on my hard drive, most importantly, all my maps,including my almost released Splak_industry, steam docs, and models from a time when ported skins were legal.


Anyway, the update failed with a capital PH and now I'm up to my waist in week old porto-pottie fluid.

When I try to boot up my computer, just as I get into the log in screen, an error comes up that says stuff along the lines of

AUTOCHK not found.

It computer then sended me into this frustrating void of a blue screen of death with the fallowing error.

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000)
The system has been shut down.

If anyone out there knows anything about this, PLEASE help me out.

If you cant get into safe mode to restore, use your windows CD and let it repair.

That is for NT4.

Wonder, you should be able to do a system restore to right before you did the SP3 install!!! Press f8 on boot (a bunch of times) until the menu comes up, try to restore it to a previous point.

Alright, well, I'm backish now.

Turns out my Motherboard fried itself when it installed the service pack, I'm pretty much on a whole new computer right, minus the Graphics card :cry:.

I still need to finish installing all my addons, but I fix um up, and I should be back online by the end of this weekend if all goes well.

The melted hole in the center talked to me.
The broken fans were a good sign too.

I pretty much still have a the same computer though, Same crappy vid card, Slight more powerful motherboard.

I did get jet engine fans. These buggers a freakin LOUD!
