Blue Screen On Startup 0x0000007E (Windows 7)
Working with Windows 7 Enterprise x64.
Upon boot the PC will blue screen with error code:
Stop 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFF0000005, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF880009A8DA8, 0xFFFFF880009A8600)
Initially I thought this was caused by an issue with my hard drives. Upon further testing however I was able to reproduce this error with 0, 1, and 2 additional hard drives. The system drive is an on-board PCI-e SSD. The additional hard drives were tested with all combinations of 2 HDD, 2 SSD, 1 HDD & 1 SSD, 1 SSD, 1 HDD, and no additional drive.
The OS is installed via MDT. I thought at first this issue arose from having conflicting drivers. We re-created our image in a VM and ran a script to remove all unused drivers. I also removed all drivers from MDT and re-added the ones for just the one PC I am trying to image (HP Z240). The WinPE drivers are separate from the other drivers as to have them installed at the proper points.
The error does not destroy the PC and with a restart I can boot back into Windows. I deploy these PC's to the general users of my company however and would like to give them machines that don't randomly blue screen on startup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
