stop error 0x0000007b
Everytime i startup my DELL XPS 410, I receive a BLUE SCREEN, Stop Error...
stop error 0x0000007b 0xF78E2524 0xC0000034 0x00000000 0x00000000
the computer is a year old, all the drives are SATA and the keyboard and mouse are USB.
this is what i have tried. I ran CHKDSK /R on the drive with the error on it. but nothing fixed. I tried installing a new drive and installed windows on it. I have slaved the drive with the error on it . On the new drive i have installed ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPYWARE from AVG.
I have ran both programs on the slaved drive but found no viruses. I did this becuase i read about some called a bootsector virus might infect the statup.
Does any one have any other idea what to try next?

Run dell diag (f12 -> diagnostics) on the hard drives.

I just tried that, all test come back as passed. anything else?
i would start with a ram test like memtest86+ form www.memtest.org let it run for 3 passes.
then i would check for updated drivers for all devices in device manager, and update them.
the first candidates are the chipset, and video drivers
you can also check if the error pops up in safe mode too - if not, it relates often to a driver.

Make sure you are using the correct drivers for your SATA controller. check the Dell Site and download the current versions. Also check whether you can use the Disks in IDE mode and not SATA mode. You should be able to adjust these settings within the BIOS.

I just replaced the RAM with New. the error message continued to show up.
I forgot to mention, that i am NOT able to boot into Windows or Safemode, so checking for drivers it not an option. the STOP ERROR comes up before the login screen should, blues screens.
I have some of the other posting on EE regarding this error. one suggestion was to change the SATA mode from Raid on to Raid Automatic, which are my only two choices. I have tried both of these option, but the error still continues. I did update the BIOS to the latest, but the error still continued.

NOBUS, i am unable to get into Windows or Safemode so I am unable to updated or check drivers.
I have replaced the RAM WITH NEW..
RINDI, i am unable to get into windows to check the drivers for the SATA. I did install a new drive to check if the drivers from the DELL WINDOWS CD are present on the CD, and yes the OS did load properly without any problem.
I could just install a new drive, but i still want to solve the problem.
Any other ideas, what about boot virus? any ideas

Try a live CD, see if it will boot on one of these, if it does then there is something wrong with your windows load. If if doesn't boot then you have a hardware issue and if you still have warranty call Dell and make them replace parts.

I was able to load windows on Fresh new drive just FINE. So the problem is the windows load. I have tested all the parts in the computer as i stated in my previous comment with the DELL DIAG UTIL. which is what was asked of me from the DELL Support and since all the TEST came back PASSED. they told me that the problem is my windows NOTthe DELL COMPUTER.
i also booted with UBCD, BART, AND Hiren's CD and they all booted just fine.
any other suggestions

Load windows on a new drive, put in both drives and copy the data you need to the new drive. Sounds like that's all that is left if you can't get back in under safe mode.
Run a repair installation from your XP CD, Or if that works, SFC /Scannow from the UBCD4WIN or BartPE. Both should replace corrupt or bad system files with the originals, and both leave the other programs and data untouched.

RINDI,
Running SFC /SCANNOW does not work under BartPE, i have tried that NOR does it work under Recovery Console.
Are you just guessing the solutions or have you really tried these solutions yourself?
Please post serious answers or solutions that you actually have tried for this problem....
the error still presist

NHChats,
I think you are a bit offbase here. Everyone is "seriously" trying to help you and to be rude will not help your cause.

Have the ame problem with the same dell computer... Looking for an answer
ASKER
still have the same problem? anyone?
so, you have a disk with xp installed that gives the blue screen, and another disk with the new install that is fine - right?
did you try a repair install ? http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
at what point do you get the error?
of course, a fresh XP install should cure it, any reason for not doing it?

thanks for help, it was a driver issue. i turned everything off in the bios and tried your solutions and that allowed me to get into safemode so that i could remove the corrupt driver,( sound driver).
The only solution I have honestly found that works time and time again. :-) Download and let it burn a boot cd, scan and problem solved. :-)

I also updated the BIOS and loaded defaults on the computer but that also did NOT help.
