C000021a Fatal System Error

I have a HP Pavillon 521N. Intalled OpenSuse13.2 up to 96%. It crashed after that.
*
Blue Screen:
Stop: C000021a fatal system error.
The session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with status of 0xC000000003a… the system has been shut down.
*
I tried to reboot the computer, but it stops at the blue screen stating the errors.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks for the help.

Could be a corruption problem did you check the check sums and run media check??

You really did not tell use much like exactly what you were installing? Full DVD, Live Gnome, Live KDE, some other flavor???

The specs I found on that machine is really low. If the memory is as published, 256 meg, that is far too low to install a full blown modern GUI

I suggest you try puppy or D.A.M.N small Linux

Blue screen? In Linux? Please explain in details what you did - did you run something under Windows?

That looks like a Windows BSOD, not a Linux error.

Linux doesn’t use the “stop” terminology - that’s Windows.

A photo of the screen (posted to paste.opensuse.org) would confirm that.

He just might be saying “The opensuse install failed, and now Windows is broken too.”

In any case the specs on that hardware unless it has been modified is way way to small/old Maybe you tried to install while in Windows???

There is a windows installer in the DVD. Nobody of us use it, I suppose,
so it is little tested. I think it somehow boots the dvd, changing
something in how windows boots for a single shot. I don’t really
remember, I think I used it on 1998, and never again.

Sorrry for the delay in answering. Was sick.
I was running the latest full DVD Suse.

Still the specs on that machine are too low unless you have added a lot of memory. Try Puppy it is made to run on machines with low memory.

openSUSE will run (or walk :slight_smile: ) on it, though. Installing may be
complicated. On my old laptop (which I use as kind of server) I used
puppy to first create a suitable swap partition, and then I started
openSUSE DVD. It automatically found and used the swap partition during
the install — I think; if not, I enabled it manually, I don’t remember
for sure.
