BSOD Stop error code 0x0000007E
Greetings benevolent community.
I have a Sony Vaio T series Laptop (Model SVT131A11W) made in China bought in India. Great machine while it lasted. Yesterday had trouble connecting to Skype. Decided to restart. The following appeared on the dreaded Blue Screen...
Technical information:
STOP: 0X0000007E (0XFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0XFFFFFF8800164CEAA, 0XFFFFF8800311D9B8, 0XFFFFF88000311D210)
iastor.sys - Address FFFFF88001645EAA BASE AT FFFFF8800161000, Datesttamp 4ed5a567
By the way these hexadecimal numbers vary every time I try a different option but the 0X0000007E code remains the same.
I have tried all the F8 options: Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, etc right down to Start windows normally, but it keeps reverting back to the blue screen. The "Launch Startup Repair (recommended)" option loads the files but goes back to the blue screen. I cannot access anything on this machine.
Grateful for any dummy's guide help please
