I'm at work now, but I found this today:

1) BSOD w/ STOP error ending in 21a
2) Problems with a security device in Device Manager

Issue is caused by KB950974. Fix is to uninstall the update in Safe Mode

Happened on a new HP and a new Dell

Further info suggests that it "may" be associated with malware present before the update was installed.
But this is based upon histories that were provided by customers.
