Here's what I get exactly. I am ASSUMING that it is due to software that didn't load right on the system. I can't boot in VGA mode and a LNG load won't work either. Does ANYONE have any help for this error?

STOP: c000021a {FATAL SYSTEM ERROR}The windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000080 (0x00000000 0x00000000)
The system has been shut down.

If I can avoid reloading NT it would be great, so please give me some other advice.

Thanks forANY help!

Try rebooting with your NT startup disks, and when it gives you the option, choose recovery. This requires a recent rescue disk.

You might have a bad NIC or VGA card or other device like modem. I would remove these device one by one and see if they will solve the problem. Good luck. Reseat RAM chip???
