I see many prior posts about the start button and critical errors at https://www.google.com/search?q=critical+error+when+activating+START+icon&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 so take a look at those too.
when activating the START icon/button it presents a critical error message & resets the pc. Any advice other than reinstall?
