Solved BSOD - computer has rebooted from a bugcheck: 0x0000007e

[tda43]

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x929c7fd5, 0x900f98b4, 0x900f9490). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 070214-5304-01.

This is a new Dell PC.

The PC blue screens about twice a week.

I have 1 powered USB device connected. Yesterday, I went to device manager and located the device in the Ports list (COM4). I did a 'update driver'. Device manger said there was a better driver available and downloaded it over the internet. The PC requested a restart. Upon restart, windows went right into system repair mode. System repair did not succeed after 1 hour so I cancelled out of all windows and did a hard reboot. As soon as the PC powered back on, it instantly had a BSOD.

I then unplugged the USB cable in question and the PC booted up fine.

I haven't had time to continue troubleshooting, my guess is I will have to do a system restore to address this driver issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi tda43.

Do you have any USB to Serial converter? If so, remove it, and see if the BSOD stops.

It is causing the BSODs.

And the driver is extremely old, so the device is, too.
