Fatal System Error Problem HELP

[b_ball_ben_w]

I need help with this problem: When I try to switch users on Windows XP Home I am given a blue screen with some words and then the computer shuts down. Here is the text displayed on the screen:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The session manager system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x77e7569e 0x002ef808). The system has been shut down.

Heh. The ol' blue screen. Don't ya love it?

When all else fails, reformat and reinstall. If the problem pops right back after that, it's most likely hardware related.
