The NTOSKRNL.EXE file is just as important as the NTLDR and without it, your system isn't going to do much more... Its used by the system and the Kernel.
 
In other words, you need to do a repair install...
 
This will re-copy the file that is broken. It belongs in the %systemroot%\system32 folder and doing a repair will replace this file. It will also do system checks on your Drives to ensure you haven't got a bad sector..
 
Good Luck..!!!

Well every time I got that it was because I just installed a new program and it did not like it. I would just delete the files the program installed. You just need to know what dll and sys files it installed.
Now that is sometimes.
