I am also following this thread and getting question marks about what exactly started this issue. It seems that after trying to install SP3, instead of uninstalling, rather a different attempt was made to delete it, while in Safe Mode. It looks to me tha the OS might be completely messed.

Unless, installing different drivers or software isnt helping much then my guess would be that it is a hardware problem and you will need to take your computer to a repair shop to check what exactly it is.

Re: STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
Can you tell us what hardware and software changes you made in the day or so before the issue happened? Have you tried to do a complete backup fo the data's that you have. Have you used the recovery option in the Gateway Guide? Did you try to boot with all hardware disconnected, except keyboard, mouse and monitor? If you want to try to access with Recovery Console, read this:
