Blue screen of death (stop 0x0000007B) after April Windows Update on XP Home.

My machine (Dell Dimension 3100 with XP Home) home is set for automatic recovery of Windows updates. I reload often, but when I was forced to start again last week, I got the blue screen of death. Apart from the general BSOD error message, I got the stop code:

STOP 0x0000007B...

I forgot the subsequent stop codes, but search recall I was doing on them indicated drivers disk or storage-related problem.

I ran all sorts of Dell diagnostics on my hardware, get absolutely no problem. Scan of a viral infection was also negative. A colleague help out me suggested removing the updates of Windows of April, he did help and usefulness of the ERD. XP loaded and started after that, if I had to go through a process of slooow restart for most updates. My office also now charge many times slower - I suspect drivers and services can't find what they expect to find and take considerable time to make mistakes.

My Dell has a range of Intel (RAID-1) matrix installed. I strongly suspect that this pilot was in trouble after the April update Windows Update.

So, what should I do to prevent this from happening again? I don't know the specific fix involved. I have disabled the automatic updates for now.

TIA

Rick

Complete sweep of Kaspersky AV, booted from the CD, turned up negative, so I doubt that it is an infection.

I'm sorry, but this does not exclude the possibility of infection. See step # 3 in my previous response, or contact Ms. PCSafety for assistance.

Or see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff559218 (VS.85) .aspx and/or http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x7b for more troubleshooting ideas.

Or if you let Windows Update to install an update for the driver (never a good idea), try a roll-back of pilot.

  • Blue screen of death: stop error: 0X000000CE

    Hi, I think I got a bad virus on my computer that's all waste.  First of all, it all started when I clicked on a link, while the Christmas on Black Friday shopping. Then I got a download of unwanted software, called system difficulty, (the small icon of Windows) I could not use system restore to remove, whenever I tried to use it, it says cannot restore on this point. Tried several other points, but no joy. Can I get the dreaded blue screen of death with a stop error: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x804f8e80, 0xef76aa98, 0x00000000). Could sail in safe mode and tried to fix it with antivirus software, found 26, abducted, ran spybot search and destroy, found nothing. Still no joy. So today, I tried to start in safe mode, and it does not work in safe mode, guard reboot again and again. Then I hit F8 and turned restart turned off so I could see the Blue error screen that would flash for just a second, and now I have this stop error message: 0x000000ce (0xf88be6dc, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000, 0xf88be6dc). I read forums on video and all drivers, but this happened just after I clicked on this link and got the virus with this unwanted software download. Anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Oh and I downloaded a program called error repair of my other computer and installed but it only scan my computer to find errors and then he wants to buy you the pack premium, so that did not help. It's my computer business running windows xp pro service pack 3. Wish it would have been on this cause she has the system recovery and it worked whenever I had a virus, I couldn't get rid of that. Thank you, Steve

    JoseIbarra is the expert resident on the Recovery Console and chkdsk/r. I'll track down his instructions. If the malware is responsible for the BSOD, I do not think that chkdsk /r will help, but it won't hurt. Or you might need to repair your boot.ini file.

    DEFINITELY get this brand XP reinstallation CD Dell! You can use it to perform a clean installation of XP or a repair installation of XP (chances are, you won't ever need to perform a repair installation, but it is nice to have this option) or to enter the Recovery Console to perform functions such as chkdsk/r.
    Chances are that your data does not fit on one CD! Depending on what you have, you might need to up to 100 CDs or more! Better to buy an external hard drive. Newegg.com has a very good selection of the most affordable. Here is an example:
    Creating a Ubuntu CD bootable 'live' (and then startup out of it, rather than on your hard drive) will allow you to copy your data to the external hard drive:
    There are also some other CD bootable antivirus (like Avira) which may help you:

    Noah needs help, when the antivirus suddenly starts to have problems, it is usually something in the sense of the update of the components, but not all of them successfully doing so. This is due to the antivirus feature. That being said, I took a look at the dump and noticed that drivers are a little old standards antivirus. For example: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\SYMEVENT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\SYMEVENT. SYS Mon Jan 14 17:29:24 2008 SRTSPL SRTSPL. SYS Wed Oct 08 15:54:43 2008 I would like to recommend the following after speaking with the support of the school first: download the latest version of Symantec; Uninstall the version currently on the system; Reinstall Symantec with the version downloaded in step 1.

  • CD/DVD drive, causing the Blue Screen of Death stop

    Software from CD/DVD in my Dimension E510 desktop seems to be the dreaded blue screen shut downs - usually as a CD is ejected. The web page error analysis Windows that appears after that restart indicates the problem is caused by a resulting driver. It's the Sonic Digital Media software provided on the system, but sometimes when I run the program I get a warning message saying that the software is not an approved final version? I would like to uninstall the Sonic CD/DVD software which seems to be the cause of the problem and replace it. This will probably solve the problem of the "blue screen", and which would be a recommended CD/DVD operating system that would be compatible with my system. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Blue screen of death * STOP: 0x0000007E Please help

    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: make sure that you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.  Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.  Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007E

    the only defense I have for her is fire threat.
    My windows XPS 400 computer was needing an update and I repeated restart later then I did go to sleep and when I tried to log on that came to the top.

    The figures I got were

    STOP: 0X000007E (0 X 80537008, 0XB84C33B8, 0X000001D, 0XB84C30B4)

    It won't let me connect to one of the modes.
     
    If you need more information ask.
     
    Help is very appreciated.

    Symptoms: Booted computer, loaded the raid drivers and showed at the start screen XP for half a second then to BSOD with a Stop error Code 0x0000007E - see also a lot of users (0xC0000001D, 0 x-, etc.) as well.

    Solution:

    1 boot from your Windows XP CD and start the recovery console. You may need to press F6 while RC loads in order to load the SATA drivers. you will have a prompt c:\WINDOWS to the console.

    2. type: CD $NtUninstallKB977165$ \spuninst (it's the update, I had to uninstall to get out of the boot loop, other updates can be uninstalled by changing the name of the directory to $NtUninstallKBCODE$, where KBCODE is the code KB)

    3. type: BATCH spuninst.txt

    4. type: exit

    Don't forget to configure your system to boot from the HD before resuming. I hope this helps. Saved me a lot of hassle today.

  • Blue screen of death WITHOUT Flash Player!

    When I try to watch video on YouTube I have Blue Screen Of Death. Sometimes after 1 min and sometimes after 10 min. I have installed Adobe Flash Player because it is not necessary to watch videos on YouTube. I checked disable "enable hardware acceleration and I always get BSOD.» I am running Windows 8.1 with all the updates, and also I've always updated Firefox when there is a new update. I tried to install Flash Player and tried all the solutions I found on the internet but non of them work so I uninstalled Flash Player. On Google Chrome, everything works normally, but I don't want to switch to him whenever I want to watch some videos in the fear of having BSOD. Please if anyone has a solution or an idea, it would be very useful. Thanks in advance!

    Hmm, since you have already disabled the main hardware acceleration, it could be a problem with the video (or audio) decoding. For video decoding, you can try these setting changes:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference media.directshow.enabled to true to false

    (4) double click on the media.mediasource.mp4.enabled preference from true to false

    (5) double-click the preference media.mediasource.webm.enabled to false to true

    (6) double-click the preference media.windows - media - foundation.enabled from true to false

    The effect of everything that should be blocking MP4/h.264 decoding and place you in the latest format WebM (VP9) YouTube. You can check the result on this page, but that might not show up after leaving Firefox and start it again:

    https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 (the two h.264 should be red)

    It's not so convenient for other video sites, but I'm curious to know if it helps on YouTube or has the same problems.
