Dell DimensionE521 with XP SP3
Currently, during start up my computer is giving a Stop error c000021a, 0xc0000005. I cannot login to windows regularly or access safemode, last known good configuration, or debug. I've had this same error in the past, and it was because my toddler knocked my RAM out of place. BIOS is reading the RAM just fine (and I did a manual check to be sure). My files are accessible (and backed up, thank goodness) by an outside computer.
I had a run in with a virus (fake anti-virus attached to file in work email). Used a combination of AVG, Maleware Bytes and SpyBot to remove it, but I think AVG took out my winlogon.exe while removing the virus? Maybe?
I have no idea how to fix this problem other than maybe trying a reinstall of windows, but that seems a little drastic and I feel like there may be a better option. Any and all help is appreciated. TIA!
