BSOD STOP: 0x0000007E
Hi, Please help, I've tried everything.
I have a Dell Vostro 200 (about 2 yrs old) that came with Vista OS, I upgraded to Win7 about six months ago. Everything worked perfectly. Couple of days ago, win donwloaded a couple of upgrades and everything became a mess.
Everytime I start the PC, after 1-2 mins of the Win logo it halts, displaying for a couple of seconds a BSOD with the following error:
STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x00000000, 0x80786985C, 0x80786440)
I've tried all System Recovery Options:
- Startup Repair takes ages and says No solution was found
- System Restore also takes ages, half of the times it actually finishes, asks for a restart, and then the same BSOD!!! On the other half, I get the error: Unespecified error ocurred during System Restore (0x8000ffff)
- System Recovery hangs
I've checked HD's (I have 2 HDs) with no problems. I don't believe is a hardware issue.
Yesterday, finally a System Restore worked after I deleted the file c:\windows\system32\codeintegrity\bootcat.cache and replaced it with the same file from another pc (Solution posted somewhere on the web). Unfortunately when finally login in, Windows asked to intall updates donwloaded from the web and the problem came back!!! I've tried the same method again with no success.
I'm attaching the ZIP file. I ran the exe from the prompt available at the System Recovery Options screen, but I cannot run perfmon.exe
What do you think??? WHat could it be???
Any help is GREATELLY APRECIATED!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
