My pc was working fine until I was prompted to install an update from windows…which i did, it kept prompting for restarting the computer but i was in the middle of some work so ignored it. Later i shutdown my computer and when i started it again later, it wont start! its giving me a blue screen with the following error

stop: 0×000000fe (0xc000001d, 0xf78da8ea, 0xf78da7f4, 0xf78da4f0)

I cannot go into safe mode (when selecting safe mode it gives a list of commmands and computer hangs…leave it for a while and it goes back to the blue screen error….

please help!

I work on computers and someone brought in their computer with the blue screen. I rolled back the system and then installed sp3 again to get the blue screen. All I have to say is that I love you for saving me more headache today. Thanks

He makes it clear this is for HP computers. Eventually sp3 will be forced on your computer, but it is a lot faster!

This worked for me! (HP Pavilion PC choking on SP3). Thanks for the solution.

I had to remove SP3 from the laptop, now I am concerned about updates.

Ted, I’m experiencing exact same problem with Dell XPS 410. After loading SP3, got a Blue screen with 0×0000008E. After rebooting multiple times cannot get into safe mode. Now getting either 0×000000FC or 0×0000007E.
My plan is to boot from Dell restore CD then try to do repair. Any other suggestions?

I have a Dell XPS400 and after loading sp3 I also got the blue screen with a STOP: 0×000000FC (0xBA5038E8,0×0AA71963,0xBA503848,0×00000001) error. The error also states there was an attempt to execute non-executable memory. I can’t boot in safe mode or by CD. Bad,Bad day.
