Recently, I've been getting error message below;
Stop: c000007b unknown hard error
Unknown Hard Error
Beginning dump of physical memory
My computer gives me this error message on a blue screen and I have to restart my computer everytime.
Somebody told me that there might be a problem with my memory but I upgraded the memory about a year ago and haven't had any problems.
My computer was crashed about two months ago, so I cleaned up the cooling fan and got it worked.
Now, I have this problem and it does that like every 30min~1 hour.
Shoud I get a new computer?
I really don't know what to do now. The cooling fan is clean and seems to be working.
Please somebody help me. This is my work computer and I can't do anything without this.

Hi there,
>> Stop: c000007b unknown hard error
Its a hard drive problem. During the power on process, place your ear close to the hard drive. Can you hear any cracking or clicking sounds. If so you may need to change to new drive.
Best way to determine the problem is by using a different drive to boot and remove the original drive. You can borrow hdd from someone you know if they have any spare drive.

if you unsure your memory is bad, then try

Hard drive might be the problem but it could also be one of your component is overheating after 30min to an hour.
To find out if it is due to heat problem, I would have the pc running with the case open and if possible, have an external fan blowing into the case.
Try this first before going out and getting a new hard drive or computer.

I got the same problem. BSOD C000007B hard error.
For my case
I dont think it is overheating problem because it happens just when I turn my PC on from a cold start (The PC is off for few hour)
It pass the Memory test and the temperature seems to be normal.
I also think it was the hard drive so I bought a brand new one with different manufacture brand to try on. And after few hour of testing the new harddrive, I got the same error again. Is it just a coincident that the new hard drive is bad or some thing else? what is the chance that that might happen
anyone have any Idea ?
