Windows xp setup error STOP: 0x0000007B
I have a compaq presario cq57 laptop previosly running windows 7 I took it somewhere to get the memory upgraded and they installed ubuntu for some reason so I wiped the hard drives and inserted my windows xp setup dvd and it always stops with this message:
a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you have seen this screeen, restart your computer. follow these steps: check for viruses,remove any newly installed hard drives,run CHDSK for hard drive corruption
I ran hard drive diagnostics and memory tests = no problems
viruses = I cant check for those it has no os
hard drives (newly installed) = I have never installed any hard drives on this computer and the memory upgrade never happened
the error code is: STOP: 0x0000007B
