BSOD - various versions of 0x0000007E
Running Windows732 bit, 4 gig of ram.
Computer very slow to boot and then will either boot to a desktop that is frozen, or will hang at the "Welcome" screen for a while and then crash to a BSOD with several different versions of a 0x00000007E error.
Error message mentions BIOS and turning of caching and shadowing.
I have run multiple malware and virus checks (nothing showed up) and defragged the drive.
Took out and cleaned contacts of ram and video card.
Might boot normally on occasion but that is increasingly rare.
Noticed today that after a boot to frozen screen the CPU usuage was at either 0% or up to 2%.
Any help/hints etc would be appreciated....(keep in mind I'm very close to being a noob)
