C000021a BSOD

[Scotty99]

This is the second blue screen of death i have gotten within two weeks on installing my SSD, when i just had my HDD (7 months) i didnt get a single blue screen.

I tried to google the code but i could not come up with anything satisfactory. Has anyone gotten this code before? I was just randomly on the internet and i crashed.

Follow these steps::

Step 1: Check Recently Installed Hardware and Device Drivers

Step 2: Repair Your Registry

Step 3: Check Memory Modules

Step 4: Scan for Virus

Check your recently installed files by rolling back to a previous point via the windows recovery.

DO NOT USE REGISTRY REPAIR TOOLS they do nothing.

Check your memory modules using a tool like "memtest"

Scan for viruses using Norton, McAfee, avg, panda, Microsoft security essentials, Microsoft malicious software removal tool, etc.

In my experience BSODs are due to hardware failures more often than software failures; your mileage may vary though.
