Stop Message 0x0000007e on XP

Hi,

ASUS P4T, Award Medallion Bios v 6.0, Running P4 1.4 Processor, RDRAM Clock 400 MHz, 256 MB Ram, 160 GB HD, CD, DVD-ROM CDRW, XP SP1 (I know it's old).

When booting, BSOD appears with
Stop msg: 0x0000007E (0xC000005, 0xF9DE2B18, 0xF9e7DB50, 0xF9E7D850)

Booting in safe mode is OK.

I ran msconfig removed checkboxes on all options on selective startup, ran diagnostic startup only, and both produced same problem.

Any ideas to solve this problem?

 

You can find more information by debugging the memory dump created.

Perhaps this will help......

 

Thanks, but I can't install the debugger in safe mode.

I can only startup in safe mode.

 

Copy it to a floppy, its obvious you aren't posting from the broken computer.

 

Adrynalyne,

I could post from the broken computer. I can access the internet from safe mode with networking, but I can't install the debugger.

The executable is 11 MB. After the install, is there a standalone executable that would fit on a floppy?

 

No, install the debugger to another computer. The minidumps themselves are usually only 64kb, and can fit on a floppy.

Does that make sense?

With that said, youa re most likely looking at a bad driver loading, thats why msconfig didnt help.

 

Can't one just insert their OS cd (NT/2k/xp/2k3), navigate to the support/tools folder. Then expand the dumpchk.exe file from support.cab file. Then run dumpchk file.dmp?

 

Hi, and thanks.

Another Win XP/NT/2000 machine is not available. Only Win9x.

If I can just use dumpchk.exe, what is the syntax? Sympath? Filename?

I checked for all files, including system files, created today and any file resembling a dump file and found none. Is there a specific file name that should be available? Does the file still exist after reboot?
