Crash Vista 32 0XC0000221 at startup

I ran VIsta Service Pack 2 update last week and crashed during the restart. I used successfully to restore in safe mode.  I ran the update again this week and crashed again - windows/system32/ntkrnlpa.exe status Oxc0000221 failed because the kernel is missing or damaged. It will not go in safe mode or allow the entry of Setup F2 and just returns to the screen failed.  SO I know that something has gone wrong with the SP2 update workload. I have a desktop Dell 521 and Vista 32.  ADVICE?

  • Windows Vista (64-bit) crashes a few minutes after startup is complete. Difficult to get out of the lock start.

    After a Windows updated 12/09/2009 from my computer stopped working.  It starts (without error) and then freeze a few minutes after loading Windows.

    I removed all the updates of Windows since mid-November, but this has not fixed the problem.  I also tried to boot to the last known successful configuration and has followed the procedures of "clean boot upward" found elsewhere on this forum.  None of these actions resulted in necessary corrections.

    Any other ideas?

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. click on start toreduce this includes this image, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. Collapse this includes this image

    2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    3. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

    4. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    5. click on Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • Windows Vista black screen after startup

    Hello!

    I have a pc HP G60 with Windows Vista. After the updated pc, I couldn't use Google Chrome (it crashed and said 'Whoa Google Chrome has stopped working') after reading a few posts, I decided to restore the pc. So once I did this it worked fine. The next day Chrome stopped working again and not so my Mozilla Firefox (it says THAT XPCOM is not found) and I think it was because as I closed the previous night there are more updates running on the computer. So I restored around 4 or 5 times and the last time I have done that and restarted the computer, that he was really a lot of time with a black with just the mouse screen shows so I shut it down by pressing the power down button (bad I know). Now, whenever I turn it on, you can see the Windows loading screen with the small bars at the bottom and then there is a black screen with white text, requesting that the operating mode (safe mode, normal mode, etc.) and then after I decided to use it says loading files or something like that in the white text then just a bunch of names to run it on the screen. However, after that then it goes to a black screen with only the mouse showing. Someone knows how to fix this? I tried pressing the f8 key and I tried pressing the power button for 30 seconds without energy sources and put into market as Sigma_08 says in this post:

    https://social.msdn.Microsoft.

    and the CTRL ALT DEL, but it still does not work. Is there something I can do? D:

    * I tried all modes (normal, security) on the start screen (it opens with this screen every time since I closed it the wrong way.

    Hello! Thanks for the help! I have not tried, but because it turned out that I was pressing f8 at the wrong time, then tried again before the windows logo showed on the screen and was able to use the Repair Options and then system restore and this time he solved the problem!

  • Screens of Windows Vista blue on each startup, alternating memory management and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    I'll try to be complete, I'm quite technically competent in implementing network and equipment and have been working on this for over a week.

    HP Pavilion under Vista SP2 desktop computer. 2x2gb sticks of RAM.
    PC a friend, apparently blue screened during the connection of its new iPhone 5. As I said in the title, the blue screen seems to alternate between Memory_Management and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I can start in safe mode but impossible to activate the Windows service install. I installed SafeMSI and always impossible to uninstall anything. I installed Revo Uninstaller, uninstall of Windows/application still does not work, but I used it to remove iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, etc. Also, I can't use any network in safe mode even when the boot safe mode with networking so I can't check for solutions online. I did comprehensive RAM test-run Windows diagnostics, diagnostics of HP, MemTest86 or about (ran without error) 8, tried with each RAM stick only, tried with each in different locations, tried with two other sticks of 1 GB matched RAM, try with a different from 2 GB RAM stick, tried in all four memory locations.  I also ran ComboFix and MalwareBytes, Chkdsk, sfc /scannow...and probably others that I can't think of right now. I was going to just to reinstall Windows, but when you start the ISO that he allow me to upgrade, it will wipe the data. Same thing when running in safe mode. It blue screens a few seconds to load the office so I have no time to do anything normal start-up. Oh, I also did a start diagnosis "clean boot", etc. - blue screen every few seconds. When I boot mode safe, it works well with the obvious exception of services that I have to solve it. I also tried to boot to the last good configuration, try the Startup Repair and attempted a system restore, but event viewer informed me that all the restore points had been deleted for one reason or other. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Vista receives BSOD at startup - stop 0xF4

    I have a system with MS Vista Home Premium.

    I plugged a USB wireless adapter and the system crashed.

    Now, no matter how I start the computer - safe mode, normal start, etc. - always gets a BSOD before the operating system loads...

    Tried to do a system restore - restore all points of failure.

    I tried to do an upgrade of Vista to try and fix the problem, but the upgrade is not an option - only will allow me to do a new install.

    Error: Stop 0x000000F4

    I can access the repair screen, but nothing works from there - system restore fail, found backup cannot make a backup.

    Suggestions?

    Hello M.Ritner,

    I noticed that it started when a USB wireless adapter was plugged.

    It was never removed?

    If not, then we will remove and start the last good known.

  • Vista system stops during startup and asks to press F1 to continue

    I am running Vista32bit Home premium... I was wondering if there was a way to prevent the computer from stop when starting.  My computer stops after the diagnosis of the screen and asks me to press F1 to continue (boots in windows) or delete to enter setup (bios setup menus).  After hitting the F1 computer boots to windows.  He always did until last week when I had my computer repaired (repairs failed).  After the repair, the computer should boot directly into windows all the time which was nice.  But, I had to reinstall Vista and is again present during startup.  I would like to boot directly into windows constantly... there at - it somewhere that this will enable a setting? Thank you! Mike

    You use a floppy disk? If you do not, disable it in the BIOS.

  • Immediately after installing IE9 Windows Explorer crashes - Vista SP2

    Since windows Explorer crashes I can't update windows to uninstall or recovery allows to go back to a restore point.  I don't have a system disk in Vista, just an image of recovery from Dell.  Reinstalls don't go and try to install IE8 also would not go.  I turned off the IsInstalled Wick in the registry (for IE9) but that didn't help either.

    Good advice - unfortunately I couldn't even restore the system in safe mode.  Since I am about to install Win 7 in any case, I just went ahead and did.  Workaround went well.

    After choosing safe mode, drivers and loading files and when I see the screen of the user, I restart Vista.

    That everything becomes normal... Vista starts normally.

  • Home Premium Vista black screen at startup

    original title: reboot of Vista Ultimate

    Bought a HP pavilion dv4 (notebook) last year.  "Problem is that when I opened (tension), appears first the hp, second black screen logo, then a message" Windows is loading files "which appeared twice then go to the black screen & then to the logo of hp again.

    Hard drive test passed as well as the other test (memory, etc.).  Any suggestions how to solve this problem? Thank you

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
