Last night I went to turn on my computer and got a BSOD and stop code.....
Stop: 0x0000007e (0xc000001d, 0x80900512, 0xf78d66c4, 0xf78d63c4)
It happens right when it starts loading drivers from /system32/system, so it never gets close to actually booting up and there's no way to get into safe mode to debug anything. The only thing I can actually boot into is the BIOS. I grabbed my XP Pro disk and tried to boot from it so I could do a repair. It doesn't go far enough into the CD bootup to get to the repair option before hitting the BSOD and giving that stop code.
I'm guessing it's a bad memory module or motherboard problem. I can probably check for a bad RAM stick by testing my system with only 1 stick in at a time, but then what about the motherboard... or maybe it's a video card problem?
Anyone got any ideas on a specific culprit for this problem? I reset all my BIOS parameters back to default, so nothing is overclocked anymore. I'm running an Antec True Power II 550 watt PS, that's never been a problem.
I figure if it's a new motherboard or memory that I need, it may end up being time for a system upgrade.
